The requirements of the sinking-fund for the past fiscal year, includ-
ing a balance of $16,305,873.47 from the preceding year, have been
fully met. It is estimated that the requirement for the present fiscal
year will be $44,422,956.25, of which there has been ajgplied during the
first four months of the year, the sum of $31,196,350.

There seems to have been confusion in some minds, of the sums
paid to meet the lawful needs of the sinking-fund, and those paid for
the reduction of public debt by direct payment and redemption thereof^
To my report of last year was appended a table (Table L) of all the
moneys paid for bonds for the sinking-fund ; and a table (Table I>
showing the condition of that fund from the beginning of it in May,.
1869, down to June 30, 1881. It was stated in my report that there
was a balance then due the fund of $16,305,873.47; It has been said
that this was erroneous. The report of ray predecessor, Mr. Secretary
Morrill, made in 1876, was relied upon as so showing. He said that
the terms of the sinking-fund act required that the public debt shguld
be reduced bjj^ the close of the fiscal year in 1876 by the sum of
$433,848,215.87 ; that the public debt had, however, been reduced at
that time by the sum of $656,992,226.14, or over two hundred and
twenty- three millions more than those terms required. He did not say,
nor did he mean to say, that the reduction he announced was achieved
through the operations of the sinking-fund. What he said, and meant

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY.

to say, was that, though the sinking-fund had not been filled to the
amount contemplated by the act of Congress which provided for it,
and so the letter of the law had not been observed, yet that, by other
modes, the public debt had been reduced by more than the sum which
the sinking-fund act contemplated, and so the spirit and intent of the
law had been met and the faith of the Government with its creditors
kept. And so, after his time, though the sinking-fund has been a
creditor, the public debt has been decreased by more than a strict
adherence to the sinking-fund act would have brought about. My pre-
decessor, Mi\ Secretary Sherman, reported in 1877 a deficiency in the
sinking-fund, but a reduction of public debt near two hundred and
twenty-one millions more than the sinking-fund act, literally carried
out, would have effected.

Compared with the previous fiscal year, the receipts for 1882 have,
in the following items increased $44,578,081.99 : In customs revenue,
$22,251,054.23; in internal revenue, $11,233,209.94; in sales of public
lands, $2,551,277.20; in direct tax, $158,624.80; in tax on circulation
and deposits of national banks, $840,678.73; in proceeds of sales of
Government property, $52,785.85; in repayment of interest by Pacific
Railway Companies, $29,720.57 ; in consular fees, $8,922.98 ; in custom-
house fees, $7,538.35; in custQms emolument fees, $155,083.98; in
marine-hospital tax, $22,155.89; in Indian trust funds, interest and
premium, $5,753,308.29 ; in deposits by individuals for surveying public
lands, $248,160.81; in registers^ and receivers’ fees, $243,295.29 ; in fees
on letters-patent, $141,788.72; in profits on coinage, $648,208.12; and
in sales of ordnance material and small stores, $232,268.24. There was
a decrease of $1,835,124.28, as follows : In revenues of the District of
Columbia, $301,022.82; in sinking-fund for Pacific Railway Companies,
$8,909.12 ; in customs fines, penalties, and forfeitures, $44,789.19; in
steamboat fees, $27,664.91; in sales of Indian lands, and interest
on deferred payments, $1,078,316.30; and in miscellaneous items,
$374,421.94; making a net increase in the receipts from all sources
of $42,742,957.71.

The expenditures show a decrease over the previous year of
$20,343,982.30, as follows: In the Kavy Department, $654,625.40 ; in
interest on the public debt, $11,431,534.39 ; and in civil and miscella-
neous, $8,257,822.51. There was an increase of $17,612,534.28, as fol-
lows: In the War Department, $3,104,033.64 ; for Indians, $3,222,586.31;
and in pensions, $11,285,914.33 — making a net decrease in the expend-
itui^es of $2,731,448.02.

Total 141,510,850

EXCHANGE OF THREE AND A HALF PER CENT. CONTINUED BONDS
INTO THREE PER CENT. BONDS.

On July 1, 1882, the interest-bearing debt which was redeemable at
the pleasure of the Government, exclusive of $11,137,050 three and
a half per cent, continued bonds of the loan of July and August,

REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, IX

amount of bonds available for exchange, as contemplated in legislation
then pending, was still further reduced by the call issued July 10,
1882, for $16,000,000, to mature September 13, 1882.

By the eleventh section of the act approved July 12, 1882, entitled An
act to enable national banking associations to extend their corporate
existence, and for other purposes,” the Secretary was authorized to re-
ceive at the Treasury, bonds of the United States bearing three and
a half per cent, interest, and to issue in exchange therefor regis-
tered bonds of the United States bearing interest at the rate of three
per cent, per annum.

These bonds were to be redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States, after all bonds bearing a higher rate of interest, and which
were thus redeemable, had been redeemed or called. There is also
the important xDrovision that the last of the bonds issued under the
act, and the substitutes for them, should be the first called for payment,
and that this order of payment should be followed until all should have
been x>aid. Thereby the bonds first issued, and the substitutes for them,
made on the assignment and transfer of them, were made more desira-
ble, as likely to have a longer time to run. This gave rise to the query,
how the order of issue of the “threes” to the holder’s of the “three and
a halfs” should be determined. A method was devised by the Dex^art-
ment which gave the precedence to diligence in ofier of surrender of the
three and a halfs; and which determined by lot, giving the same chance
of x^riority to all having part in it, who of the equally diligent should
have the first privilege in issue. It is believed that justice was done
to all. The provision that the substituted bonds should have the same
rank with the originals, in the order of call for payment, was at first
thought to preclude the holder from a division of one bond of larger
denomination into two or more bonds of smaller denomination. To
have maintained this, would have inconvenienced the transfer and
division of securities among several alike interested in a large bond.
But as it was impracticable to divide one bond into two or more and
give to the latter the number of the former, and so preserve the right
to be deferred in calls for payment, it has been determined to yield to
a wish for a division, upon the holder waiving that right in exx^ress
terms in the instrument of assignment. This puts ux3on the Kegister’s
Office more labor and the greater exercise of care, but, being a con-
venience to the holder of the bond, they will be cheerfully undertaken.

On the day following the approval of the act, the Secretary issued a
circular announcing the i^eadiness of the Departmen fc to effect the
exchange thus provided for; August 1, 1882, being named as the date

upon which said exchange would begin. Under the provisions of the
act the , exchanges of the three and a half per cent, continued bonds
began on the date named and continued until September 20, upon
which date they were temporarily suspended, in order to allow the
' preparation of the schedules and checks for the dividend due Novem-
ber 1 on the three and. a half per cent, bonds which had not been
exchanged, as well as upon the new three per cent, bonds which had
been issued.

From the beginning of the exchanges until the suspension three and
a half per cent, continued bonds were received for exchange into
three per cent, bonds as follows :

Act of March 3, 1863, continued at three and a half per

cent $13, 231, 650^

Five per cent, funded loan of 1881, continued at three and
a half per cent . . 246, 138, 850

Total 259,370,500

and three per cent, bonds were duly issued therefor.

The interest on the surrendered bonds was adjusted to August 1^
1882, and the three per cent, bonds issued in exchange therefor
carried interest from that date.

The exchanges were resumed November 1, since which time there
have been received $21,024,250 in three and a half per cent, continued
bonds, Jbr which a like amount of three per cent, bonds have been
issued I making a total issue to December 1, 1882, of $280,394,750. .

The reduction in the annual interest charge by reason of these ex-
changes is $1,401,973.75.

The Department knows no reason why it should not continue to
afford every facility for these exchanges so long as three and a half
per cent, bonds remain outstanding and uncalled.

The following table shows the changes in the interest-bearing debt
during the year:

There had been coined, onNovember 1, 1882, under the act of February

28, 1878, of standard silver dollars $128, 329, 880'

There were in the Treasury at that date 92, 946, 094

And in circulation 35, 383, 786

There were in circulation, November 1, 1881, about 34, 000, 000

Increase 1, 383, 786

The increase in the circulation of standard silver dollars between
November 1, 1881, and November 1, 1882, was less than a million and
a half of dollars. The amount coined during the same time was
$27,772,075. The sui>ply in the aggregate, and furnished yearly, is-
much more than the demand.

Of the above amount held by the Treasury November 1, 1882, there
were in the sub-treasury at New York about $19,000,000, and in the
vaults of the assistant treasurer at San Francisco nearly $14,000,000,
and in the mint at that place nearly $27,000,000, making nearly
$41,000,000 in San Francisco. This large accumulation at San Fran-
cisco is useless; the call for silver dollars for use as money there is-
little. The reason for the accumulation there is this: The mints this
side the mountains could not do the needed coinage of gold, and coin
also the minimum amount of silver dollars required by the laAv. After

XII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

the silver dollars had been coined there, there was not good policy
in bringing thetn away, for there was no unsatisfied call for them on
this coast, and the expense of carriage is great, never less than one
per cent. Besides that, the vaults on this side are inconveniently taxed
in the storage of what is here. Indeed, the storage capacity of the
mints and other vault-room of the Government is everywhere severely
taxed. There were on hand in the sub-treasury on November 1, 1882,
$26,884,337.62 of fractional silver coin. In all, there were 2,400 tons
of silver coin stored in the public vaults. If the coinage of standard
silver dollars is kept up, and the demand for them for circulation is as
dormant as now, it will be a serious question where the Treasury De-
partment will find, in public receptacles, storage-room therefor.

Another reason for the coinage at San Francisco is, that all the bull-
ion for the monthly coinage required by law could not be bought on
this side of the mountains at the market rate as required by the law,
and that portion bought on the Pacific side was coined there because
it would cost so much to bring it to this side for coinage, even if there
had been mint facilities therefor.

The amount of silver certificates outstanding November 1, 1881, was
about $66,000,000, and the amount outstanding November 1, 1882, about
$65,500,000. The Treasury holds nearly all the standard silver dollars
coined during the year ended November 1, 1882. The amount of silver
certificates outstanding has lessened during the same time. Judging
from past experience, we need not expect an increased demand for silver
dollars. i

Inasmuch as by recent legislation the Secretary is required to issue
^old certificates, it is to be looked for that the place of the silver cer-
tificates will be to a great extent supplied by gold certificates, as the
latter are furnished in convenient denominations ; and it is j us t to supi>ose <
that a certificate payable in a coin worth but eighty-eight per cent, of
its nominal value will be displaced by one worth fully its nominal value.

Is the idea vain that th^ continued coinage of silver dollars is not
now required for circulation of them, or as a basis for the issue of such
certificates, aind that the policy of the Government, so far as it was
meant to increase the price of silver, has not been successful*?

As was stated in the report of last year, the act requiring the issue
of silver certificates^ making them receivable for customs and all public
dues, was a part of the policy of Congress to maintain the standard of
the silver dollar at or near that 6f the gold dollar.

The objections then urged to the issue of silver certificates, viz., that
they form an inexpedient addition to the paper currency ; that they

Digitized for FRASER
BKi^li^ealsfejr^BAiSfeR.org/

REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XIU

are made a lega^tender for the purposes named for more than their
real value; that there is no promise on the part of the Government to-
pay the difference between their actual and nominal value ; and the
embarrassments which arise from the endeavor to maintain several
standards of value, still have their force. .

There is just now a seemingly greater demand for silver dollars. It
is only in seeming. The process is this : Gold is deposited in New York.
For that, by arrangement, silver dollars are taken from the mint at
New Orleans. They are not put into circulation. They are deposited!
at once in the sub-treasury there, and silver certificates taken to meet
immediate pressing needs for crirrency. As gold certificates are now
going into business hands in New Orleans, the process above stated’
will probably cease, as it is not looked for that silver certificates will
be sought rather than the gold certificates. That process keeps the
silver dollars out of tbe Treasury but a short time, and does not put
them into general circulation.

I refer for a more full discussion of this subject to my report of last
year, and repeat my recommendation that the provision for the coin-
age of a fixed amount of standard silver dollars each month be re-
pealed and the Department be authorized to coin only so much as will
be necessary to supply the demand.

The recommendation is renewed for the repeal of the act requiring
the issue of silver certificates, and for a law authorizing measures for
their early retirement from circulation.

The international monetary conference met in April last, on the day
to which it had adjourned, and adjourned again sine die. It is not
understood that it effected any important practical result.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,
CONVERSION OF REFUNDING- CERTIFICATES,

At the date of the last report refunding certificates issued under
the act of February 26, 1879, remained outstanding to the amount of
1589,050.

There have been presented during the year for conversion into four
per cent, bonds, certificates amounting to $17x4,300, leaving still un-
converted $423,750.

In the language of the act, these certificates are convertible at
any time, with accrued interest, into the four per cent, bonds de-
scribed in the refunding act.” Prior to May 1, 1882, it had been the
practice of the Department to convert the principal only of the cer-
tificates into four per cent, bonds, paying the interest accrued on the
certificates in lawful money.

A holder of refunding certificates having made a demand upon the
Department to have the interest accrued on his certificates, as well as
the principal thereof, converted into four per cent, bonds, the question
was referred to the Department of Justice for examination. In the
opinion of the Attorn ey-Greneral which was furnished this Depart-
ment, the claim thus made was held to be justified by the language
of the act, and on convesrsions effected since May 1, four per cent,
bonds have been issued in satisfaction of the interest accrued on the
certificates, in lieu of the payment of lawful money, in all cases where
such interest amounted to a sum sufficient to entitle the holder to a
bond.

Up to November 1, 1882, $5,500 in four per cent, bonds have been
issued in this manner, making an increase to that extent of the amount
of such bonds outstanding, but not increasing the total debt.

I

CONTINUED TRUST-FUND BONDS.

It was stated in the last report that $451,350 in bonds of the five
per cent, funded loan, held by the Secretary of the Treasury as a part
of the sinking-fund for the Pacific Eailroads, had been continued at
three and a half per cent., and that $52,000 in bonds of the same
loan, held in trust for the South Carolina school-fund, had also been
continued in preference to allowing the bonds to be redeemed and in-
vesting the proceeds in other bonds.

For the same reason the three and a half per cent, bonds have now
been exchanged into three per cent, bonds of the act of July 12, 1882.

XVI REPOKT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.'

The coinage of gold was nearly $11,000,000 more than that of any
previous year in the history of the mints. About one*half of this was*
in eagles, one-third in half-eagles, and the rest in domble-eagles.

The purchase of silver for coinage during the year was 23,627,229.37
ounces of standard silver, at a cost of $24,136,942.20, inn average of
$1.02.15 per ounce standard. The average London price for silver was
51|f pence per ounce of British standard tineness, equivalent to $1.02.26
per ounce United States standard, and the average New York price
was $1.02,419 per ounce standard.

During the year, about $29,000 of punched and mutilated silver coins
\^ere purchased and melted for recoinage.

The silver coinage consisted of $27,772,075 in standard dollars, and.
$11,313.75 in fractional coin, a total of $27,783,388.75. ^

The j)rotits on the silver coinage amount to $3,440,887.15, of which
$3,438,829.41 were from the coinage of the dollar, and $2,057.74 from
fractional coin.

When the financial report of this Department was made last year
public queries were started whether the profits on coinage were truly
given. To satisfy myself and please a proper public scrutiny, I called
a fitting official person from the assistant treasurers office at New
York, and charged him with a thorough investigation of the matter.
What he did appears in his report appended hereto (Aijpendix, page
53). I think it is complete and satisfactory, and puts at rest any
doubt that the fiecounts have been accurately kept and truly reported.

During the year the mints distributed 15,747,463 standard silver
dollars, leaving in their vaults 35,365,672, from the coinage of this and
former years.

Of the minor or base-metal coins, 46,865,725 pieces wei*e struck, in
value $644,757.75. Of this, 4,400,775 pieces, invalqe $220,038.75, were
five-cent nickel coins, for. which the demand was large during the year..
The rest of it was principally of one- cent pieces.

Besides the coinage, $37,505,120 worth of gold and $8,129,202 worth
of silver was made into bars."

Up to October 1, under the act of May 26, 1882, $6,588,000.06infine
gold bars fit for export were changed for gold coin at the New York
assay office, thus saving the expense of coinage.

The coin circulation of the country on July 1, 1881, is estimated, from
the statistics of coinage and net imports of coin, to have been —

United States gold coin . $439, 776, 75J

United States silver coin 171, 459, 766*

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

The affairs of the national banks during the current year are treated
of more fully in the report of the Comptroller of the Currency than
space will permit herein. It gives an abstract of their resources and
liabilities for each year since the national-bank system went into
operation, together with statistical information for a seizes of years ^
drawn from official sources, of the affairs of private bankers, savings-
banks, and banking associations organized under State laws.

The number of national banks organized during the year is 171,
which is the greatest number organized during any year since 1872.
The number of banks in operation is 2,269; more than at any previous
date. They are located in every State and organized Territory of the
Union. The returns made by them show* that on October 3d of the
present year they had as aggregate capital $483,104,213; as surplus,
$131,977,450; as individual deposits, $1,122,472,682; had made loans
in amount, $1,238,286,524; and held in specie, $102,857,778.

The number of banks whose corporate existence either has expired,
or would have expired if no action had been taken by their stock-
holders, is eighty-six. The stockholders of fifty-four of them, which
have been placed in voluntary liquidation or whose charters have ex-
pired by limitation, have organized new banks in the same localities.

XVIII REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY

The stockholders of thirty banks have extended their existence under
the act passed at the last session of Congress. That act was well
adapted to the purpose intended.

The corporate existence of 305 other banks will expire before Feb-
ruary 25, 1883. Nearly all of these have given notice of . an intention
to seek an extended period of existence, under that act.

The report also tells the total amount of coin and currency in the
country, and the distribution of them in the Treasury, in the banks,
and among the people. Since the day of resumption — the 1st day of
January, 1879 — there has been an increase, in gold coin of $288,795,330;
in silver coin of 105,750,532; and in national-bank notes of $38,936,073;
in all, of $443,481,935.

The aggregate circulation of the national banks had steadily increased
for a series of years. The action of existing banks, in making de-
posit for the ultimate redemption of their circulating notes, lessened
for the year the amount of those notes for which those banks are liable
by the sum of $5,478,854.

The national banks hold $220,000,000 of United States bonds which
are i;)ayable at the pleasure of the Government. This is more than
one-half of the whole amount outstanding of this class of bonds. If
the public debt is to be paid as rapidly as it has been of late, it is
likely that all of these bonds will be paid during the next three
years. Whenever they are called for payment, the banks holding
them, to keep up the circulation of their notes, must either deposit
lawful money in the Treasury amounting in the aggregate to at least
$200,000,000, or purchase and deposit there other United States bonds.
The cheapest of those bonds are at a high premium in the market.

It is estimated that the profit from the deposit of those bonds and
the taking and issuing the circulating notes furnished thereon, when
the lawful rate of interest is as high as six per cent., is not more
than three-fifths of one per cent. It . is supposed that this is not enough
to lead the banks to buy them largely, for the purpose of securing cir-
culation.

' Is there not reason for forethought whether, with this embarrassment,
the bank circulation will not be so largely retired as to trouble the busi-
ness community ?

Ways are suggested of forestalling a troublesome contraction of the
circulation — one, a reduction or abolition of the tax on circulation;
another, an increase of the rate of issue to ninety per cent, of the
current market value of the bonds ; another, that the four and four

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XIX

O

^nd a half per cent, bonds be refunded into three per cents upon terms
satisfactory to the holders, thus bringing into market a class of bonds
purchasable at a lower rate ; and another, that the Treasury Depart-
ment be empowered to take, as a basis of circulation, the three-sixty-
hve bonds of the District of Columbia.

The Comptroller gives statistics of the taxation of the national
banks, and again, recommends a repeal of the tax upon capital and
deposits, in which recommendation the Secretary concurs. The capi-
tal invested in national banks is $462,341,601. The taxes assessed
upon them by the United States and the States for the year 1881 were
$17,189,080, being at the rate of 3.7 per cent. The amount assessed
by the United States is near one-half of the whole. A repeal of the
laws providing for it would still leave those banks liable to an assess-
ment by the States of over eight millions of dollars per annum.

The Comptroller of the Currency has completed his annual tables,
showing the amounts of United States bonds held by the national banks,
State banks, savings-banks, and private bankers on the 1st of Novem-
ber, 1882. The national banks held on November 1, 1882, as security
for circulation and for public deposits and other purposes, $396,528,400
of interest-bearing bdnds of the United States. This is nearly thirty
millions less than the amount held on November 1, 1881, and about seven
millions less than for the corresponding date in 1880.

Banking associations other than national hold these bonds as fol-
lows : State banks in twenty-one States, $8,739,172 ; trust companies in
five States, $16,934,812 ; savings-banks in fifteen States, $237,786,442 — ;
total, $263,460,426.

There has been during the past year a decrease of about two millions
in the amount held by State banks and trust companies, and an increase
of nearly twenty-seven millions in the amounts held by savings banks.

The amounts held in geographical divisions by these associations
in 1882 were as follows : Eastern States, $42,667,248 ; Middle States,
4197,135,239; Southern States, $268,350; Western States, $3,369,414;
Pacific States, $20,020,175 — total, $263,460,426.

These returns have been compiled from reports made to the officers
•of the different States, which have been forwarded by them to the
Comptroller.

The interest-bearing funded debt of the United States was on No-
vember 1, $1,418,080,200. The total amount of bonds held by the
national banks. State banks, and savings-banks at the nearest corre-
^spending date that could be ascertained was $659,988,826, which amount
is not greatly less than one-half of the whole interest-bearing debt.

XX . REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,

Similar facts have also been compiled from the returns made by State
banks, savings-banks, and private bankers to the Treasury Department
for the purpose of taxation, showing that the banks and bankers of the
country, exclusive of the national banks, held an average aimount of
United States bonds during the six months ending May 31, 1882, as fol-
lows: Savings-banks, $242,028,782; State banks and trust comi)anies,
$23,211,430; private bankers, $14,870,745 — total, $280,110,957.

The amount of bonds given in the returns to the Commissioner of
Internal Kevenue, which is the amount invested in United States bonds^
and may include the premium as well as princii)al of the bonds, is
$16,650,000 more than the amount obtained from the returns to State
officers. The difference is comparatively small, and the amounts ob-
tained from the one source serve to corroborate the general accuracy
of the returns obtained from the other.

At the last session of Congress legislation was had to stop the over-
certification by national banks of cjiecks, in form drawn upon them.
(See chapter 290 of 1882, section 13.) That act is an amendment of
section 5208 of the United States Eevised Statutes, which made it
penal to certify such a check unless the drawer then had on deposit with
the drawee money to the amount of it. Section 13, above cited, makes
it penal to resort to any device, or to receive any fictitious o|)ligation,
whereby to evade the provisions of section 5208, above cited. Since the
passage of section 13, instead of the formal certification of checks, some
national banks have made a formal acceptance thereof. They claim that
this does not break the law, and plant upon section 5136 of United States
Eevised Statutes, wherein that section allows the making of contracts
and the use of powers incidental and necessary to the business of bank-
ing; and upon section 5209, United States Eevised Statutes, Avhich
makes it penal for a bank officer to accept without authority, whence,
it is claimed, the implication is, that with authority from the bank
directors it is lawful; and upon the absence from section 13 of an
express prohibition of making an acceptance. The question remains,
however, is the making of the acceptance a resort to a device, or the
receiving of a' fictitious obligation, in order to evade the provisions of
section 5208 f For it is understood at this Department that these
acceptances are not always made upon an amount of money actually on
deposit with the acceptor equal to that of the check. Judging that
Congress was earnestly trying to stop a practice which it deemed
fraught with evil, I believed it well to concur with the Comptroller of
the Currency in submitting the matter to the Department of Justice,
for the official opinion of the Attorney-General, whether a national bank

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY.

XXI

might lawfully make such acceptances ; and, as the amount of them is
supposed to be large, whether, if the bank might lawfully make them,
it should be held, in so doing, within the bounds of section 5200, Ee vised
Statutes United States, to the one- tenth of its paid-up capital; and, if
it might be so held, whether that limit applied to the gross amount of
the acceptances or to a single acceptance (See section 5202, United
States EeAused Statutes.) The Department of Justice has made reply to
the communication of this Department. The opinion of the Attorney-
' Oeneral is that to write the word “accepted’^ across a check is to the
5ame effect as to write the word <‘good^^ there; and that, though one
maybe called a ‘‘certification^^ and the other an “acceptance,’^ they
mean the same thing, and are like acts; that when the drawer has not
with the drawee the funds with which the check may be at once paid,
the writing of one word, just as much as the writing of the other, is
for the same forbidden purpose — ^to produce the same forbidden result ;
that, inasmuch as the liability is the same whether the check be marked
with the one word or the other, either mark, if incurring that liability^
would seem to be sufficient to bring the case within the prohibition
referred to. It remains to be seen whether the banks which have
indulged in this practice will cease therefrom on knowledge of this
opinion, or whether the Comptroller of the Currency, or the law officers
of the Government, must enforce the pains and penalties incurred by
violation of the law. ^

PUBLIC MONEYS.

The monetary transactions of the Government have been conducted
through the offices of the United States Treasurer, nine assistant
treasurers, and one hundred and thirty-five national-bank depositaries.

The gross receipts of the Government, amounting during the fiscal
year, as shown by warrants, to $524,470,974.28, were deposited as fol-
lows :

In independent-treasury offices $382, 680, 906 77

In national-bank depositaries 141,790,067 51

The quarterly examinations of independent-treasury offices, required
by law, have been made, and those offices have, besides, been sub-
jected to special examinations by officers of this Department. As far
u,s known, there has been no loss to the Government from public officers
-engaged either in the receipt, the safe-keeping, or the disbursement of
the public moneys. I have seen some instances of misdealing with
them, but as yet without ultimate public toss.

^ CUSTOMS.

The revenue from customs for the last fiscal year was $220,410, 730.25^
an increase of $22,251,054.23 over that of the preceding year 5 an

I also ask the attention of Congress to. the classification of sugar, as I
know not whether it will be treated of, or, if it is, how it will be treated
, of in any other document brought to the attention of Congress; and
the subject is one of practical importance.

The Dutch standard of color is no longer a practical test of the sac-
charine strength of imported sugars, or of their value for refining. The
Supreme Court, in a recent decision, has interpreted the existing law
to be, that customs officers may not look beyond the apparent color, and
must classify the invoices thereby, though satisfied that the color is arti-
ficial and made to get a lower rate of duty. That standard was adopted,,
doubtless, believing that color showed value. The intention was to
put upon sugar, duties in effect ad valorem. As it* has come about, how-
ever, the grades of sugar highest in value, when thus artificially colored,,
come in at the lowest rate of duty. The purpose of Congress in adopt-
ing the Dutch standard is measurably defeated. Provision should be
made for just classification. This may be done by putting on an ad
valorem duty, by a specific duty, or by authorizing some standard other
than that of apparent color. Now, domestic producers do not get the

incidental protection meant to be given them. Importers, too, are
subject to embarrassment in fixing the rate of duty on their goods, and
otherwise.

The importance of a' new tribunal for the trial of customs cases, or of
the transfer of them to an existing tribunal, is again presented to Con-
gress. The bill now pending gives jiKtisdiction over them to the Court
of Claims. . It seemsto this Department that this is a method economical
and speedy, and hence good for the disposal of these cases. It would
relieve the Department of business which it is not fully organized to
entertain and properl}^ act upon.

The recommendation of last year is repeated, that the Secretary be
authorized to refer to the Court of Claims, in his discretion, any disputed
claims against the Government involving important questions of law
or fact. This would give to claimants and to the Government a proper
judicial trial and judgment, and ward off the requests for re-examina-
tions which are now urged upon every change of principal officers of
Departments.

It is also recommended that there be authorized the appointment of
three additional general appraisers. The necessity for this addition
has long been felt, the interests of the Government having suffered in
some sections for the lack of a proper tribunal to determine disputes.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

From the various objects of taxation under the internal-revenue laws
the receipts for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, were as follows :

From spirits : $69,873,408 18

From tobacco ■ I 47, 391, 988 91

From fermented liquors 16, 153, 920 42

From banks and bankers 5, 253, 458 47

From adhesive stamps, (including bank checks,

$2,318,455.14; friction matches, $2,272,258; patent

medicines, &c., $1,978,395.56) 7, 569, 108 70

From penalties, &c t . 199, 830 04-

From collections not otherwise provided for 81, 559 00

Total : 146,523,273 72

The increase of the revenue fron^ spirits during the last fiscal year
was $2,719,433.30; the increase from tobacco in its various forms of
manufacture for the same period was $4,536,997.60 ; the increase from
fermented liquors was $2,453,679.21 ; the increase of revenue from taxes
on banks and bankers was $1,491,250:40 ; the total increase of internal
revenue from all sources was 111,293,361.42.

XXIV REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

\

REDUCTION OF TAXATION.

The Treasury Department was created by act of Congress, chajiter
xii, of the year 1789. By the second section it was made the duty
of the Secretary to digest and prepare plans for the improvement
of the revenue.” The word improvement meant enlargement. The
need was for more revenue, and the lack was of subjects from which
it might be taken. In that sense that duty is now without care. The
times have changed. What now perplexes the Secretary is not where-
from he may get revenue and enough for the pressing needs of the
Government, but whereby he shall turn back into the flow of business
the more than enough for those needs that has been draN^ from the
people.

There are now in the Treasury unused assets to a large amount, and
the daily receipts into the Treasury from customs and internal-revenue
taxation are about a million and a quarter.

It is plain from this, and the statement with which this report be-
gins of the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year, that the
receipts fro^ revenue are, and are likely to be, in excess of the needs
of the Government.

From the inequality between daily large receipts and comparatively
small daily disbursements there comes an evil effect upon the business
of the country. The collections by Governnient are taken out of the
money market in sums and at dates which have little or no agreement
with the natural movement of money, and are returned to it with the
vsame inadaptation to commercial or financial requirements. Occa-
sionally the large disbursements of the Government have created a
plethora of money; more frequently its large and continued withdrawals
of money have caused such a scarcity of floating capital as to check
the proper movement of legitimate business. It is not only that the
amount in the Treasury is so much kept from the use of community ;
the fact becomes an incentive and an aid to men who for their own ends
conspire to keep from that use other large sums. We have believed
that the laws of the States against primogeniture, the entail of es-
tates, and the accumulation of personal property, stood in the way of
heaping up wealth in single hands, and gathering in single hands the
power over others that great wealth gives. But so it is, that to-day
there are men so rich that by conspiring together, they can at will put
and hold hand on near as much money as Government can^lay hand to,
save by the use of its credit. The power thus had is used from time
to time. It results, that violent and sudden contractions and expansions

affliet the business commuaity, and the Government is an unwilling
aider and abettor therein. It has come about that the Treasury De-
partment's looked to as a great, if not a chief cause of recurring strin-
gencies, and the Treasury is called to for relief. Every Secretary of
the Treasury for years past, has had it brought clearly to his mind’, and
^ official expedients have been used to remedy the evil. Little of last-
ing value has been accomplished thereby.

There is no advisable and lawful mode of disbursing an existing excess
of assets but that of the payment of the public debt. That debt is
substantially of two principal classes — that payable at the pleasure
the Government, that payable at a fixed date in the future. The
former is also of two kinds — ^that bearing interest at three and a half
per cent., and that at three per cent. The latter may not be called in
for payment while any of the former is outstanding and uncalled. So
is the law of its creation. Of the former there are outstanding and un-
called over seventy millions. The interpretation put by the Department
upon the various laws out of which that debt has arisen, requires that a
call for it for payment must fix for the maturity and for the cessation
of interest a date three months off. This. somewhat hampers the De-
partment in so making calls as to keep up a timely succession. For calls ^
at three months off there must either be the funds in hand therefor at
the time when the call is made, or there must be a reliance upon the
probable prospective receipts. To wait before making a call until the
funds are in fact in hand would be to increase the evil of which I am speak-
ing. To call in reliance upon receipts to come needs caution, lest by
changes in business currents or business prosperity they may be les--
sened, and thus embarrassment ensue; so that, practically, the Depart-
ment cannot with prudence work in this matter up to what may turn out
to be its full ability. Whether the three per cent, bonds will require the
same length of call-time has not yet been determined. Nor is a call al-
ways effectual in bringing in the debt for payment. The monthly state-
ments of the public debt show that of matured obligations on which
interest has- ceased th ere are outstanding over eleven millions and a half,
some of it from the year 1837. Doubtless some of this has been lost
or destroyed, and will never be brought for payment. But bonds which
are in late calls come in slowly. Thus, of the calls preceding the last,
all of which have been some days payable at option of holders with-
out rebate of interest, and which were, in all, for $55,000,000, there
. is outstanding $35,000,000 and over.

Bonds of the other principal class are of several kinds, all payable at
a future date, and all are now at a high premium in the market. If it

XXVI REPORT or THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

were good policy for the Department to buy these at their premium, it
could by so doing easily free the Treasury from its excess of assets.
Various causes put these premiums, at a height almost unexam-
pled. It is true that capitalists may buy them now, and they will, if
the present state of things continues, by the time they fall due and
payable, and are paid to them at their face, have realized some in-
terest upon the purchase price. At the present premium on most if not
on all of them that will be short of three per cent. Calculations show
that at these premiums a purchase will not have yielded at the end of
their term three per cent, on the money paid for them. The Govern-
ment by the purchase of them might in effect take an equal profit.
But it can save to itself three and a half per cent, by calling bonds of
that class. Hence, I do not perceive how a Secretary could justify him-
self to the country at large, in paying the Government debt at ruling-
premiums, when there is no requirement of law to be answered, and no
convenience or pressing need of the Government to be met; unless
there is a great emergency, and general financial disaster is threatened,,
which only extreme measures of Governmental interference can turn
aside. It is true that this Department has heretofore, and as late as
March 30, 1881, purchased bonds and paid for them the face value
and a premium thereon.. The purchases on . that day were over five
millions and a quarter of dollars, and the premium paid near fifty-five
thousand dollars. But the purchase was for the sinking-fund, and the
law of that fund required a purchase, and there were no Government
bonds redeemable at pleasure to the payment of which an excess of
assets might be applied. In former years there were large and con-
tinued purchases of bonds at a premium, but they went hand in hand
with sales of gold at a greater premium, and the Government made a-
profit by the transaction, and then, too, was for a time the requirement
of the sinking-fund, and there were no bonds payment of which might be
made in invitum.

The anticipation of payment of called bonds Avithout a rebate of the
interest up to the day named in the call rests upon a different basis.
A prepayment of interest upon the public debt is sanctioned by express
provision of law. (See resolution ISTo. 25, of March, 1804, and U. S.
Eev. Stats., 3699.) A reference to the debates in Congress when that
resolution was under discussion, shows that the motive for the adop-
tion of it was, that the Treasury Department might at any time break
a tightness in the money market by putting out money idle in its vaults.
The power thus given has of late been used for that purpose. Though
this does give a gain to the holders of the bonds, it puts no loss upon

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XXVII

the Government. The Treasury uses for the prepayment, money that
it needs not for use in other ways, and which yields no interest, and
which it must at last use for paying just what it pays in advance, and
to no more than the amount that it must at last pay. In paying a high
premium, however, it pays what it is not bound ever to paj^, and it is
not a certain event that it will ever make itself whole again, and to*
the extent of some part of the premium, it extinguishes no debt.

It is doubtless good policy to extinguish the long bonds of the Gov>
ernment, rather than those payable at its pleasure ; for the time is at
hand when, with the present rate of receipts and the present rate of
payment of the public debt, all the bonds subject to optional time of
payment will have been called in. Then, if there be a surplus in the
Treasury, there will be no outlet for it 'save by purchase at large pre>
mium of long bonds, or the disbursement of it through appropriations,
for purposes beyond the ordinary and economical needs of the Gov-
ernment. It is, therefore, for Congress to consider the propriety of em-
powering this Department to buy the long bonds at a high premium. If
it shall deem it politic to make general purchases of bonds at such pre>
mium for extinguishment, it should by law give to this Department
express authority so to do, and thus adopt that policy.

There have been other suggestions of modes of freeing the Treasury
of an excess of assets. The national-bank act, section 35, (U. S. Ee~
vised Statutes, sec. 5133,) provides for the designation of national
banks as depositaries of public moneys, security being taken in a cor-
responding deposit of United States bonds. All moneys received for
customs must be paid into the Treasury, and no part of them can be
placed in national bank depositaries. It is seen that if they, or any
part of them, were deposited with national-bank depositaries, they
would soon find their way back into the currents of business in loans-
and discounts, as do now the receipts from internal-revenue taxation.

There are in the Treasury over fifty millions of dollars, being the
five per cent, fund for the redemption of national- bank notes, and the
fund for the redemption of notes of national banks that have failedo.
These funds have not been treated by the Department, as public
moneys within the intent of the sections above cited, and have been
kept in the Treasury. If Congress should give an interpretation to*
the words ‘‘public moneys” which would take in these funds, and they
be put on deposit with the public depositaries, the same results Avould
follow as are above suggested as to customs receipts.

It is argued by those who contend for larger use of the banks as de-
positaries that all other civilized countries have an advantage over

XXVIII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

i

the United States in the relations between their treasuries and the
money market ; that their governments keep their accounts with the
strongest banks in the country, and in this natural way of transacting
business they do not deprive their trade of the natural and necessary
services of floating capital; that it is only in the United States that
the Government, chiefly by law and partly for want of the use of exist-
ing discretionary powers, deliberately disturbs the natural currents of
money, inflicting upon trade a prolonged or spasmodic stringency by
locking up its receipts, or stimulating speculation by a sudden out-
pouring of its hoard; that all business is taxed by this system of legal
^caprice, and that it is probably no exaggeration to say that our Treas-
ury statutes cause discounts in lilew [York City to average two per cent,
higher than under the more natural system of employing the ordinary
business agencies for the Government’s collections and disbursements.

I do not yield to this reasoning to the full extent that it is sought
to push it. It may be well to give the Department the power to make
larger deposits in the public depositaries. I conceive that the receipts
from customs, now to great extent pledged by law to the payment of the
bonded creditor, should be ‘held in the Treasury; for in another course
there are disadvantages that might come to both Government and people,
;and which would, if they came, outweigh all advantages to either. It
)is safe to say that the country is never so sure of a continued course
of prosperity as that prudent forecast will not take heed. of possible
financial disturbance and disaster. If such should come, in such mag-
. nitude as that the national-bank depositaries should be involved in
oommon with all, it would be of the greatest good that the Govern-
ment had in its own hands the means to meet the daily calls upon it.
It has chanced that, singly, national-bank depositaries have failed to
meet the drafts of the Government upon them, to its embarrassment.
^Greatly more so would it be if all or many should so fail together,
^nd together should have in keeping, in main, the assets of the Govern-
ment. The policy of the Department has been to keep for the redemp-
otion of the United States notes a reserve of about forty per cent, of the
:amount of them outstanding, and, besides that, to hold money enough
to meet all other obligations payable on demand. It is a part of that
policy that the Treasury should itself hold that reserve. “You must
be ready for the evil day, and, being ready for the evil day, the evil
4ay almost never comes ; not being ready for the evil day, it is certain to
<}ome.” For these reasons I would not seek a release of the Treasury
from this complication, in these modes.

The radical cure for the evil is in the reduction of taxation, so that

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. XXIX

no more will be taken from the people than enough to carry on the
Government with economy 5 to meet all its obligations that must be
met from year to yearj to pay off with reasonable celerity the part of
the debt which it may pay at pleasure, and to provide through the
sinking-fund for the payment of that which will become payable hy
and by. The evil comes from the likelihood of the Government hold-
ing from time to time a large surplus to be j)Oured out in volume at
uncertain and unforeseen times, and at times often inopportune for
the business of the country. There could not be that surplus, surely
not so great a one, if the subjects of taxation were lessened and the
rates made smaller upon those retained.

The figures are given above which show an estimated surplus of
public moneys for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, upon the basis^
of existing laws and including the sinking-fund, of $75,577,043.75.

Unless some disturbing cause comes in, not now foreseen, that sur^
plus will increase from year to year as the interest on the public debt
decreases. For without such cause the revenues from all sources will
not be diminished if the laws productive thereof remain unchanged.
As so great an annual surplus is the direct result of the existing revenue
laws, what will be the financial condition of the country if these laws
remain unchanged and taxation be not reduced*?

In connection herewith, should be borne in mind the increasing ex-
penditure for pensions, as likely to affect in some degree the increase
of suri>lus.

The Commissioner of Pensions has furnished to this Department an.
estimate based upon facts on his records which gives these figures:

Humber of claims filed to June 30, 1882 817, 722'

Humber admitted 472, 776

Humber on rejected files 75, 268

Humber pending 269, 678

817,732.

Of the number pending, 197,623 are entitled to arrears,^’ and the-
first payment in the same, compiled from discharge or death to date,,
would not fall below $200,000,000.

The remaining 72,055 were filed subsequent to June 30, 1880, and
pension, when allowed, would commence from date of filing.

Last year he estimated that the average value on the 1st day of
Jauuary, 1884, of each claim allowed out of the class in which are the
197,623 above, would be $1,350, and he then reckoned that about five-
sixths of that class would be found valid claims and would be allowed..

XXX REPOET OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

The amount of United States bonds which are now due and payable

:at the pleasure of the Government are as follows : ♦

/ Fives continued at three and a half per cent ; $155, 356, 350

To which add the refunding certificates 423, 750

Making .. 739,353,350

' The amount of the funded debt redeemable at any time before Sep-
tember 1, 1891, which will remain unpaid on the 30th of June, 1883,
is about $300,000,000, and upon the foregoing estimates for the
fiscal year ending June 30, .1883, the whole funded debt now redeem-
able could be paid before June 30, 1886. This would leave as the sur-
plus for more than five years the amount of $600,000,000, undisposed
of in the Treasury, unless, yielding to the temptation of seeming
wealth, CKpenditures be largely increased. The amount of the loan
redeemable in 1891 is only $250,000,000, and, as has been stated, no
other loan becomes redeemable until 1907, so that the surplus under
the conditions supposed will rapidly increase until that date. The
amount of the loan of 1907, as already appears, is less than $740,000,000,
so that, were it all redeemable, the whole public debt could be paid
from a surplus as great as estimated early in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1894.

It has not often occurred in public financial history that embarrass-
ment has arisen through superabundance of revenues. The condition
•of the country in that respect, while it illustrates its almost boundless
resources, and establishes its credit beyond a question, presents diffi-
culties of grave character.

The accumulation in the Treasury of a large surplus, which must occur
unless immediate measures are enacted for a reduction of the revenues,
is not to be placidly contemplated, and the question confronts us, in
v^hat manner may it best be prevented

The suggestion that the Government may go into the market and
purchase its bonds not yet redeemable at the market rates is noted
in another place. As a temporary expedient, or for a relatively small
amount, this policy might be adopted. But were it established by law
as a permanent policy, the long bonds, now at a high premium, would

be so enliaDced in price as to render the purchase of bonds imprac-
ticable within reasonable bounds.

A greater use of the natioual banks as 'depositaries is treated of
elsewhere herein. If that should be made, it would be but a return to
the channels of business of moneys taken from them without need,
and with the charge upon the people of the cost of collecting.

I respectfully refer to my last report for my views upon this sub-
ject. They have not materially changed. Now, as then, it is recom
mended to retain a . tax on spirits, tobacco, and fermented liquors, as
legitimate, subjects of needful taxation. They are, in the main, the
means of indulgence, and should come before necessaries as subjects of
taxation. The tax from spirits for the last year was $69,873,408.18;
that from tobacco, $47,391,988.91; that from fermented liquors,
$16,153,920.42. The increase over the year 1881 was, on spirits,
$2,719,433.30; on tobacco, $4^536,997.60; on fermented liquors,
$2,453,679.21, The total receipts from the taxation of these articles
was for the last year about one hundred and thirty-three millions of
dollars. The estimated expenditures for this fiscal year are near three
hundred millions. The retention of this tax will still leave a large sum
to be raised from other sources, so that there is not a pressing need of
a reduction here. Should it, however, be deemed expedient to reduce
the rate of duties on either of these articles, to obviate the inducement
to fraud, or to render such duties more equal, objection is not so
strongly urged against a moderate modification as against a total
repeal of all taxes thereon. Propositions have recently been made to
abolish the whole system of internal revenue, but neither public senti-
ment nor political action indicates a desire on the part of tax-paying
citizens to strike out this class of taxes. All the other subjects of internal
revenue may be released from taxation, unless bank circulation be re-
tained. It is a franchise, a privilege to furnish that, and it is of profit
to the banks and of expense to the Government, and hence is a prefer-
able subject of taxation. The amount derived from it was $3,190,981.98
the last year, yet as the banks are liable to assessment by the States,
and thus to bear a share of public burdens, it is advisable to strike off
the Federal taxation on their circulation.

The whole amount of internal revenue for the year ended
June 30, 1882, besides those from spirits, fermented

liquors, and tobacco, is .$13, 073, 956 21

The tax on circulation and deposits of national banks

XXXII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

o

Deduct this amount from our surplus revenues, and we have still a
surplus of about $98,000,000.

To complete an effectual reduction of taxation, it must be made on
some principal source of revenue, and such an one is the duties on
imports collected under the tariff laws, and an additional obvious^
method of avoiding a surplus in the Treasury is a reduction of the
revenues from those.

The subject of the repeal of the tax on circulation and deposits of
national banks, and those upon adhesive stamps, and those derived
from banks and bankers, has been much discussed in Congress. It
will be seen, however, that the repeal of call these taxes would relieve
but a portion of the difficulty.

. The revenue's from customs for the current year are estimated at
$235,000,000, and under existing laws, and without a disturbing cause'
now unforeseen, we may expect that they will not diminish in future
years. It seems, therefore, that a reduction should be made in the
revenue from the customs.

In reading the testimony before the Tariff* Commission it is to be ob-
served that with scarcely an exception the representative of every in-
dustry, while conceding that a general reduction of the tariff is proper
and necessary, has claimed that its peculiar product can submit to no-
reduction of the protection now afforded.

While the views of the manufacturers are to be weighed, it is man-
ifest that they will never be able to agree upon a redaction of the tariff
duties.

All agree that a revision of the tariff* is necessary. The action of
Congress in creating a Commission for that purpose renders discus-
sion on that T)oint unnecessary. The action of that commission in
detail is not yet known to this Department. Whatever may be its^
recommendations, they will no doubt receive respectful consideration.

The Secretary of the Treasury, however, cannot feel that he- is re-
lieved of responsibility because of that Commission. He deems it
proper, therefore, to make some recommendations upon the subject.

The whole amount of revenue from customs for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1882, has already been stated at something more than
$220,000,000. The classes of merchandise paying the largest amount
of duties from customs are the following, in the order named: Sugar
and molasses, wool and manufactures from it, iron and steel and the
manufactures from them, manufactures of silk, manufactures of cotton,
amounting to about one hundred and thirty-seven and a half millions.
A substantial reduction upon each of the class of articles named is^

recommended. And it is believed that the time has arrived when a
reduction of duties on nearly all the articles in our tariff is demanded
and is feasible.

In addition to this, a careful revision of the tariff should be made
with a view to placing ui)on the free list many articles now |)aying a
duty.

It appears that the largest amount derived from any class of pro-
ducts, under the customs tariff, is that from sugar.

Sugar is a necessary of life for all classes in this country. The
average duty on it is equal to two and a half cents per pound, and
to nearly lifty- three and a half per cent, ad valorem. The amount
of cane-sp^gar produced in this country is estimated at eleven per cent,
of the whole quantity consumed, and it is apparent that nearly the
whole amount of revenue from this source is paid by the consumer, the
competition by home production not being sufficient seriously to affect
the price. The progress of industry in the production of sugar from
sorghum and the beet is not forgotten. It is entitled to consideration.
It is believed, however, that a substantial reduction of the duty upon
sugar may be made without injustice to the producers of it in this
country.

Upon wool and iron and steel, and their manufactures, a large re^
duction must be made to materially lessen the revenues derived from
them, as the amount of imports will increase as the duties are lessened.

It will probably be found that in general the reduction can chiefly
be made on the raw material or coarser manufactures, rather, than
•those upon which a greater amount of labor has been bestowed. The
duties on manufactures. of silk, it is believed, may be reduced without
.injustice to manufacturers in this country. . .

The cotton tariff* is found to be complex and inconsistent, and it is
no, doubt true that in most of the coarser classes of cotton fabrics our
manufacturers can compete with the world without protection.

Wines and spirits, which afford the largest amount of duty next to
the five classes enumerated, being articles of luxury, may well bear
any rate of duty deemed necessary for the revenue.

Without going further into details, the Secretary earnestly recom
mends a careful revision of the tariff^ with a view to substantial re-
ductions.

The accomplishment of this is recommended to the present Congress,
which has been fully aware of the approaching financial situation, as
it is now presented, and has fully discussed the subject in some of its
bearings,

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XXXV

There has been an increase in the principal crops of the country in
1882 over those of 1881. Over 75 per cent, of the exports of domestic
merchandise is in products of agriculture. It is reasonable to expect
n.n increase in the exports of merchandise and an increase in the bal-
ance of trade in our favor. This expectation appears also to be justi-
fied by the fact that the exports of breadstuffs for the first four months
of the current fiscal year at the principal ports, exceeded such exports
for the corresponding months of the preceding fiscal year by $4,570,084.
The exports of petroleum for the fiscal year just closed exceeded those
for the preceding fiscal year by $10,917,097.

IMPORTS OF MERCHANDISE.

The imports of merchandise for the last fiscal year exceeded those
of the preceding year by $81,974,946:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, the exports of specie were
$49,417,479, and the imports $42,472,390 — a difference of $6,945,089.
In the preceding fiscal year there was an excess of imports over ex-
ports of $91,168,650. This change came, probably, from the falling
off in exports of merchandise for the year.

The report of the Bureau of Statistics shows, in detail, the state of
the foreign commerce of the United States.

COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION.

I The tonnage of vessels owned in the United States at the close of
I the fiscal year 1882, by the records of the Register of the Treasury,
i was 4,165,933 tons. Of this, 1,292,294 tons were in 2,185 vessels regis-
tered for the foreign trade, and 2,873,639 in 22,183 vessels enrolled and
licensed for the coasting trade and fisheries. There was a decrease of
43,292 tons in vessels in the foreign trade, and an increase of 151,491
tons in those in the domestic trade. The increase in the tonnage of
this class of vessels for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, was but
6,924 tons.

The number of documented vessels of all classes built during the »
past fiscal year exceeds that of the fiscal year ended in 1881 by 203o i
The undocumented vessels built during the past year, such as canal- |
boats and barges, may fairly be presumed to have been much larger.
The total tonnage of vessels entered from foreign countries was
15,630,541 tons during 1881, and 14,656,499 tons during the year
ended June 30, 1882 — a decrease of 974,042 tons. The American ton-
nage entered in the foreign trade was increased 49,141 tons, and the
foreign tonnage was decreased 1,023,183 tons. This tonnage is com-
'puted from the number of entries of vessels, and not on the number
of vessels, and is limited to the seaboard ports.

Of the merchandise brought in at seaboard, lake, and river ports
during the fiscal year 1882, $130,266,826 were imported in American
vessels, and $571,517,802 in foreign. Of the exports of merchandise,
$96,962,919 were shipped in American, and $641,460,967 in foreign ves-
sels. Of the combined imports and exports of merchandise, 16 per
cent, only was conveyed in American vessels.

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS AND QUARANTINE OF NEAT-CATTLE.

Legislation on these subjects has two objects: First. The extinction
and prevention in the United States of the disease known as pleura-
pneumonia j or lung plague. Second. The increase of our commerce in
neat-cattle with other nations, especially Great Britain.

The disease did not begin in this country, the first cases having been
traced to foreign origin. It is found on the Atlantic coast in several
places from ^^ew York to Baltimore, but has not been felt in Kew England
for many years. It is a contagious disease, of malignant type, bkely to
spread through herds, and from herd to herd. Mindful that the number
of neat-cattle in the United States in 1880 was about 36,000,000, which,
at $25 per head, would be valued at $900,000,000, and that there has
probably been increase rather than decrease, it is seen that this is a
matter of moment. The spread of the disease on the Atlantic^coast

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XXXVII

alone would make serious loss, though, it is more readily controlled
where cattle are penned or housed. The starting and spread of it in
the great open cattle ranches of the West would be calamitous. Its
contagious character, and the difficulty of treating it in large herds
roaming at will, make it formidable. Should it get a firm hold there, it
would badly hinder the raising and sale of cattle, which is a means of
wealth and prosperity to many of our people.

To prevent it being brought from abroad, the Depai'tment, in duly,
1879, established regulations subjecting all imported cattle to a quar-
antine of ninety days. As there was no appropriation therefor until
the last session of Congress, importers were obliged to quarantine their
cattle at their own expense; and as the Dominion of Canada, under like
provisions for quarantining imported.cattle,made liberal provision there-
for, most of the cattle imported into the United States were brought
firom abroad first into Canadian ports.

Using an appropriation of the last session, this Department, through
the Treasury Cattle-Commission, has taken active measures for estab-
lishing for imported cattle quarantine stations and shelter at Portland,
(Me.,) Boston, Hew York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. The design is
to furnish buildings with sufficient land, so arranged that the cattle
in quarantine may be isolated, not only from cattle already in the coun-
try, but each importation from others, and be kept constantly under the
inspection of Government officers. It is expected that these arrange
meats will be completed at the ports named within a few weeks.

The second object in view is to promote the trade in neat-cattle with
foreign nations, especially with Great Britain.

The number of live cattle exported, chiefly to Great Britain, in the
year ended June 30, 1881, was 185,707, valued at $14,304,103. For the
year ended June 30, 1882, the number was 108,110, a decrease of 77,597,
and in value of $6,503,876. The decrease was, hoAvever, no greater in
proportion than that generally in the exportation of articles of food.

By an order of the Privy Council of Great Britain of February, 1879,
all cattle imported from the United States must be slaughtered at the
port of arrival within ten days. This order, deemed necessary to pre-
vent infection, will, no doubt, be rescinded, whenever the United States
shall adopt measures rendering it reasonably certain that importations
of cattle from this country will not introduce the disease from which
the people of Great Britain have heretofore suffered loss.

This order causes great loss on cattle exx^orted to Great Britain from
this country, as only animals fit for beef can now be exported, and the
shrinkage in them on immediate slaughter, after the waste of a sea
voyage, without recuperation, is estimated at not less than ten per centi

XXXVIII REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,

There is a great demand in England for stock cattle, to be fe^l
and fattened on English soil, which we could readily supply, were it
not for the order referred to. Under a recent appropriation, this De-
partment, through the Cattle Commission, is arranging with the various
railroad companies for the transportation of cattle from the Western
States to the seaboard so as to save them from contagion on the route.
When these arrangements are perfected and found efficient, we may
fairly ask of Great Britian that the order for immediate slaughter of
American cattle imported into that country be rescinded.

The report of the Commission speaks in detail on this subject.

REVENUE MARINE.

There are now thirty-seven vessels in the Eevenue-Marine Service,
thirty- two of which are steamers, and five sail- vessels. They are manned
by 199 officers and 774 men.

This was their regular work for the year ended June 30, 1882:

Aggregate number of miles cruised : 303, 562"

Number of vessels boarded and examined 24, OOS

Number of vessels seized or reported to the proper author-
ities for violations of law 1, 042

Number of vessels assisted Avhen wrecked or in distress . . . 147

Number of persons rescued from drowning Ill

Estimated value of imperilled vessels and cargoes assisted .$2, 254, 716
Besides the regular duty, the service has done special work.

In May last, at the reguest of the Navy Department, the Corwin, or
the Eevenue Service, was sent to St. Lawrence Bay, Siberia, to bring
away the officers and crew of the naval relief and exploring steamer,
Rodgers, burned at that place. The Corwin made a second cruise to-
our most northern waters, to protect the seal-fisheries and other Gov-
ernment interests in Alaska. She ascertained the fate of Master Put-
nam, of the U. S. Navy, who was carried to sea upon an ice floe and
perished. She cruised two hundred miles to the eastward of the signal
station, at Point Barrow, finding no open xiolatious of law. Coming,
back by the Aleutian Islands and Sitka, her commander, Lieutenant
Healy, in November, quelled an outbreak of the Indians upon the main-
land north of the latter place.

The revenue-steamer McLane, at Galveston, Tex., co-operated with
the Marine-Hospiial Service in confining and alleviating the yellow-fever
epidemic, carrying physicians, nurses, medicines, and supplies.

The revenue-cutters have also co-operated with the Life-Saving Ser-
vice and the Light-House Establishment.

The expense of maintaining the Revenue Marine for the fiscal year
ended 30th of June last was $846,423,34, ’

REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. XXXIX

The new vessel for duty on the southern coast, authorized by Con-
gress in 1880, has been completed and placed on duty, and named

Walter Forward.^^ The appropriation of $75,000, made at the last
session, has, under the authority of the law, been applied to the re-
building of the revenue-steamer Commodore Perry.”

The recommendation made last year, of a new vessel for the south-
ern coast, to replace one worn-out and not adapted for the service, is
renewed. The amount of $75,000, necessary for this purpose, has been
included in the estimates.

The recommendation of the last annual report and of those of several
of my predecessors in office, that Congress provide for the establishment
a retired list and the extension of the pension laws to the Eevenue
Marine, is renewed.

LIPE-SAVING- SERVICE.

The operations of this useful service have been continued with success.
There were at the close of the fiscal year 190 stations in commission.
The whole number of disasters to documented vessels, reported by the
district officers to have occurred within the field of station operations,
is 286. The number of persons on board of these vessels was 2,268.
Of this number, 2,256 were saved, and 12 only. lost. There were
succored at the stations 450 shipwrecked persons, 1,344 days’ relief in
the aggregate being afforded them. The estimated value of property
involved in these disasters was $4,757,892, of which $3,099,537 was
saved and $1,658,355 lost. The number of vessels totally lost was 67.

There have also been fifty-six instances of disaster to smaller craft,
as sail-boats, row-boats, &c., on which were 126 persons, all of whom
were saved. The property involved in these disasters was $7,850, of
which $6,450 was saved and $1,400 lost. The aggregate is this:

Total number of disasters . 342

Total value of property involved $4, 765, 742

Total value of property saved $3, 105, 987

Total value of property lost $1, 659, 755

Total number of persons on board 2, 394

Total number of persons saved 2, 382

Total number of persons lost 12

Total number of shipwrecked persons succored at stations. 450

Total number of days’ succor afforded 1, 334

Total number of vessels lost 67

Besides the persons saved from vessels, there were twenty-nine
rescued who had fallen from piers, wharves, &c., and who, without the
aid of the life-saving crews, would i>robably have been drowned. The
twelve persons lost during the year are shown, by the investigation
held upon each case, to have been beyond human aid. The loss of life is

XL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

smaller than that of any x^receding year, with one exception, although
there were forty-two more disasters than in any year before since the
organization of the service. When the number of disasters is consid-
ered, and. it is remembered, that the life-saving stations are located, by
selection, at the most fatal points of our dangerous coast, the small loss
of life and property is remarkable, and speaks well for the efficiency of
the service. It is claimed that the loss of life from marine disaster,
upon our coasts, since the general extension of the service thereon, in
1876, has been reduced nearly 75 per cent.; that while in 1876, and
before that, one person out of twenty -nine on board wrecked vessels
was lost, there has been a constant decrease, until the loss is but one
out of every one hundred and thirteen; and this result is almost entirely
attributable to the Life-Saving Service.

The service has never been in so good condition as at present. The
legislation of the last session of Congress has supplied its main wants,
and established the conditions for high utility, in its prime object of
saving life and its secondary ones of protecting commerce and aiding
the collection of the revenue. This legislation has already had a
marked effect upon the status of the establishment, and particularly
upon its morale. The provision for the ampler pay of the employes,
and for aid to those among them who may be disabled in the line
of duty, or, in case of .fatality, to their widows and orphans, makes
them feel that their services are appreciated, and insures cheerful zeal
and fidelity in doing duty. It enables the Department to obtain, in
instances, better men than before. The crews are now of good capacity
and character. It is a rule, in forming the crews, that regard be had for
qualification, to the exclusion of political or other considerations.
Faithful adherence to this rule is a condition of the success of this
service.

Owing to the late date at which the . appropriations passed Congress,
not much has been done in establishing the new stations authorized by
the act referred to. One has been built at Peaked Hill Bar, Cape Cod ;
and one at Muskeget Island, on the coast of Massachusetts, is nearing
completion. Three are in i)rocess of construction on the coast of Horth
Carolina. Sites have been selected for others, and in some instances
the titles secured.

THE LIG-HT-HOUSE ESTABLISHMENT.

During the fiscal year the Light- House Establishment has put into
operation eighteen new light-stations, eighty new river lights, five new
fog-signals operated by steam or hot air, three new automatic whistling*
.buoys, one new bell-buoy, and ninety- three new buoys of the ordinary

kind. It has discontinued two lights'which are now no longer needed,
and has changed the characteristics of ten others, that they may be
more useful than heretofore.

The new lightdiouse on Staimard^s Eock, Lake Superior, was Mghted
<)n the 4th of July. This work, which was specially difficult, is fuUy
described in the Appendix to the Annual Eeport of the Light-House
Board.

The board refrained from making recommendation as to lighted
buoys until the results of the experiments made in foreign waters were
ascertained. These buoys have now proved to be such valuable and
comparatively inexpensive aids to navigation that they have been
adopted into several of the light-house systems of Europe. The board
has recently had occasion to place a lighted buoy to mark a wreck in
one of the channels leading into the port of New York, which could be
successfully marked in no other manner.

The work of changing the burners of the lights in the several light-
house districts, so as to substitute mineral oil for lard oil as an illumi-
nant, is now so far completed that on the 1st of January next mineral
oil will be used in all except the light-houses of the first order.

The appropriation made for erecting electric lights at Hell Gate will
enable the board to transfer its experiments with the electric light from
the laboratory to a light-house, where it can have a working test.

Attention is called to the board’s annual report for further details
with regard to the Light-House Service.

COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY.

The operations of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, both in the field
and in the office, have been steadily advanced.

Topographic and hydrographic surveys have been carried on on the
Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Aid has been given to the State
surveys in progress in nine interior States.

Data and material have been accumulated for additional volumes of
tl-ie Atlantic Coast Pilot, and for new editions of the Coast Pilots of
California, Oregon, Washington Territory, and of Alaska. New charts
and new editions of old charts have been published. The annual pub-
lication of tide-tables has been continued.

In the estimates for the prosecution of the survey is an item for the
construction of a steam-vessel specially adapted to the survey of the
coasts and navigable passages of the Territory of Alaska. The grow-
ing importance of that country and the needs of its commerce and
eavigation recommend this proposition to the favorable action of Con-
gress.

XEII REPORT OF THE SRCRETART OF THE TREASURY,

THE MARINE-HOSPITAE SERVIOE.

During the year 36,134 patients received 333,475 days relief in hos-
pital. Transportation to their own liomes.was furnished to seven in-
curable patients. Fifteen seamen have been furnished treatment at
the Government Hospital for the Insane; 306 seamen were examined
physically as prelirninary to shipping; 2,090 pilots were examined for
color-blindness; and 3,278 seamen Avere vaccinated, because of the
prevalence of small pox. The receipts were $408,215.69, and the gross
expenditures $468,120.16. These expenditures include $54,192.20,
on account of extraordinary alterations and repairs to hospital build-
ings. Less this amount, $413,928.14 was the net expense of the ser-
vice. On July 1, there was an unexpended balance of $177,869.85,
$50,000 of which will be required for additional repairs then under
contract, and $15,000 more for contemplated alterations. The hospitals
generally.arein good condition. The recommendation heretofore made
for the establishment of a snug harbor” for those sailors and boatmen
permanently disabled, and that for the physical examination of all sea-
men before shipping are renewed. Of the 2,090 pilots examined for color-
blindness, sixty -three were rejected as being color-blind, while of the re-
maining 306, tAventy-four were rejected for various disabilities. There
is now no complaint against the examination for color-blindness, and it
is believed that the Department would have no difficulty in carrying out
the law for the general physical examination of all seamen. One hun-
dred and lifty-four deaths are reported of passengers on voyages from
foreign ports to this country. Eeport thereof is the beginning of
statistics on the hygiene of merchant vessels, to meet the intention of
Congress in providing for the inspection of those vessels, to show
the relative mortality in classes of them. To complete them, the re-
ports should be kept up for years.

An epidemic of small pox broke out on the Upper. Missouri river.,
where there was no local sanitary law, and the Department, being
called upon, made use of the customs force to suppress the disease.

In my judgment, the hospital-tax should not be reduced until seamen
request it, or until Congress shall make annual appropriations for the
support of the service. When the tax was but 20 cents per month, the
Department was obbged to deny relief to many suffering seamen ; now
relief is denied to few, if any, who are entitled to receive it. The en-

4jents in all cases. It is likely that this amendment will bring the
y^early receipts below the expenditures. There is, however, an accumu-
lation of funds to the credit of this service of near three-quarters of a
million dollars. This will for some years meet any deficiency. Before
it is wholly used the service may become self-sustaining by the in-
•erease in the number of vessels to be inspected and the fees collected
therefrom. The fees have increased for several years about $6,000
yearly. ^

A decrease from last year of sixty-three. Of the lives lost, fifty-six

vessels, many losing their lives through carelessness, begot by famili-
arity with dangerous duties. It is estimated that there were carried
during the year 354,000,000 passengers.

IMMIURATION.

The execution of the act to regulate immigration approved August 3,
1882, has disclosed certain defects in the statute which seem to require
legislative remedy.

While the act gives the Secretary of the Treasury supervision of the
43usiness of immigration to this country, it enables him to exercise this
^supervision only through commissioners appointed by the Governors of
.States in which lie the ports at which immigrants land. He is further
to supervise the business only under the stipulations of contracts en-
tered into with such commissioners. Most of the collectors of customs
have informed the Department that the amount of immigration at their
respective ports is not such as to warrant the appointment of commis-
•sioners. At two of the ports at which immigrants needing relief
.are likely to arrive, namely, Baltimore and New Orleans, no commis-

u

REPOKT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XLT

sioners have been appointed by State authority, and hence the law is-
there inoperative. At the ports of S'ew York, Philadelphia, and Boston
commissioners have been appointed, and the statute is in operation
more or less successfully.

In collecting the tax of fifty cents levied by the act on every
alien passenger, not a citizen of the United States, arriving by a sail or
steam-vessel from a foreign port, it is found that many of the pas-
sengers are tourists, many intending a temporary sojourn in this^
country, and many are minors. Under the construction put by this-
Department on. this provision of the statute, it has restiicted the col-
lection of this tax to alien passengers seeking a permanent residence in
this country, including in that class minors contemplating a lasting home
here. Under this rule the sum collected at most of the ports has ex-
ceeded the demands for immigrant relief. At New York it has steadily
fallen behind these demands in an amount between four and five thou-
sand dollars per month. If the relief of immigrants is to be secured,
some provision is needed for a deficit of this character, inasmuch
as the particular sums collected can be expended only at the ports-
where the immigrants arrive; and the disposition of the excess at some
ports should also be provided for.

^ It is respectfully suggested that the law is peculiarly framed, in this?
that while its execution is charged upon this Department, yet thfe
Department must act through subordinates doing the practical work.
They are to be appointed by State authority, and that authority may
fail to appoint, and they may or may not be paid a proper remunera-
tion if appointed; and the rules and regulations which this Department
by direction of the statute is to establish are virtually restricted by the
terms of the contracts into which it may be able to enter with the State
boards or commissioners. The law is, therefore, in its essential features
one of uncertain operation. The thorough execution of it needs the
existence of an administrative bureau, with its proper body of officials.
But there is no provision in the act for such bureau, no provision for
administrative officers other than as above stated, and no provision
for the direct control of the business by this Department.

Under the provisions of section 4 of the act, it is provided that all
foreign convicts, except those convicted of political offences, shall, upon
arrival, be sent back to the nations where they belong and whence
they came. This provision may give rise to complications with foreign
countries growing out of demands for the return of convicts. First:
if the treaty stipulations with a foreign country require the direct return
of a convict belonging to that country to its accredited agents, this law

might conflict with the treaty in requiri|ig a return of the convict
l)y the master of tbe vessel in which the convict was a passenger, in-
4stead of a delivery of the convict to the agents of his country. Sec-
ondly: the law is itself ambiguous in its directions, as the country to
which the convict belongs may not be that whence he came. The De-
partment has endeavored to remove this difficulty by adopting in its
regulations promulgated on the 7th of August last the provisions for
the return of convicts embodied in section 5 of the Act supplement-
ary to the acts in relation to immigration,” approved March 3, 1875.
But the recent statute should be so amended as, on its face, to be free
ifrom ambiguity.

NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

The report of the Ifational Board of Health for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1882, shows an expenditure of $98,523.07.

This expenditure has been made chiefly in aid of State and local
boards of health and of local quarantine stations, in preventing the
•coming in of yellow fever and small pox from foreign ports and the
spread of them by river and railroad.

The act of June 2, 1879, under which some of the operations of the
board are conducted, will expire by limitation on the 2d of June, 1883*
If it be deemed advisable to continue the work on which the board is
engaged, additional legislation will be necessary, and appropriations,
based upon the past experiences of the board, amounting to $150,000,
will be required, and $100,000 for use in case of epidemics.

The details of the work of the board, the results achieved, and the
appropriations required for its continuance are shown in the annual
report of the board, which is transmitted. ^

A.PPROPRIATION FOR PREVENTINO THE SPREAD OF EPIDEMIC DIS^

EASES.

One hundred thousand dollars were appropriated by Congress at its
last session, to be used, in the discretion of the President, for prevent-
ing the spread of epidemic diseases. The expenditure was by him
committed to this Department, because it had ready the services of
trained members of the Marine-Hospital Service, of the Eevenue-Ma-
rine Service, and the Customs Service.

The Governor of Texas applied for aid in checking the spread of yel-
low fever in that State. The Surgeon-General of the Marine-Hospital
Service was charged with the duty of rendering it. The trust was ful-
filled with judgment and zeal, and the spread of the fever checked.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XLVII

The system of cordons formed by him and his official coadjutors was
well conceived and useful. The result of their operations shows that
Ihe management of such matters may well be confided to them.

ALASKA.

Early attention should be given to the establishment of civil gov-
ernment for Alaska Territory, The importance of that land is not, I
fear, fully recognized. It is rich in timber and in the supplies which
the ocean gives ; and with the present rapid cutting down of the forest
on lands nearer market, and the ruthlessly wasteful modes of taking
fish on coasts and in rivers nearer at hand, it will too soon become the
resource of the country for those products of nature. Moreover, the
extent and richness of useful mineral deposit and of precious metals
there are not yet fully known, though the indications are that they are
great. Were civil government established, immigration and perma-
nent settlement would be encouraged and the way made ready for the
profitable use of the natural advantages which that region proffers.
There is no lawful authority in that Territory to dispense justice and act
upon conflicting claims, unless that assumed by customs officers may be
called such. There should be there, as elsewhere, the ready protection
of law, administered by officers and in ways, themselves lawful } and
then material and social development would go forward. The Treasury
Department should not be charged with the responsibility of administer-
ing the affairs of that Territory, except in so far as they come within
its legitimate functions ; certainly not without some well-defined rule
of action.

The Alaska Commercial Company has taken during the past year
nearly the maximum number of seal-skins permitted under its lease,
paid the tax due thereon, as well as the rent of the islands, and other-
wise performed its duties under its lease.

DISTINCTIVE PAPER.

There have been received and duly accounted for since the last re-
port 10,371,950 sheets of silk-threaded distinctive-fibre paper for the
printing of United States notes, national-bank notes, gold and silver
certificates, registered bonds, checks, and other obligations of the
Government. The use of this paper continues to give satisfaction,
and it is believed furnishes an important defence against attempts at
counterfeiting.

During the same period there have been received 19,748,000 sheets
of the distinctive paper adopted for the printing of internal-revenue
and customs stamps.

XLVIII REPOKT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

COUNTj EXAMINATION, AND DESTRUCTION OF REDEEMED SECURITIES.

The United States legal- tender notes, national currency and
miscellaneous securities, received by this office during the fiscal year
, ended June 30, 1882, for final count and destruction, amounted to
$169,665,57 3.75 J, and U nited States legal tender notes, national currency,
United States bonds, and other obligations mutilated in process of
printing, and unissued notes, received for destruction, amounted to
$40,841,164, making an aggregate of securities counted, cancelled,
and destroyed, of which details will be found in the tables accompany-
ing this report, of $210,506, 737.75J.

BUREAU OF ENURAVINa AND PRINTING-.

The work of this bureau steadily increases. The aggregate deliv-
eries for the year are over twenty per cent, greater, the expenditures
for it less than twelve per cent, greater, and the force of employes about
fen per cent, greater than the year before. All the engraving, plat^
printing, and work incidental thereto required by the Treasury De^
partment is now done in this bureau under the direct supervision of
the officers of the Government. ^

The matter of the use of steam-power presses for printing was on
July 10, 1882, referred to a special committee, who still have it in charge.
Owing to a pressure of work on the three per cent, bonds and on the
new form of circulating notes for national banks which availed them-
selves of the act of August 12, 1882, the labors of the committee were'
necessarily broken in upon, and they have not yet finished the task
set them to do.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

Congress at its last session authorized the erection of thirty-seven
hew buildings for public use, including four marine hospitals ; the pur-
chase of one hospital-building; the extension and remodelling of the
custom-house at Buffalo, and that of the court-house and post-office at
Des Moines, Iowa. This contemplated an aggregate final cost of
$6,293,000 ; of which $3,258,000 were at once appropriated. Sites have
been selected for nine of these buildings, and a site for the building at
Jackson, Miss., for which appropriation was made at the previous ses
sion. Steps have been taken for the selection of others, where juris-
diction over the land has been ceded by respective States. Where
this has not been done the Department awaits the action of Legisla-
tures.

REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XLIX

I call attention tp a recommendation in the report of the Supervising
Architect, that the authority for purchasing land at Pensacola be not
limited to the extension of that now owned by the United States, and
that the Government may acquire a new site, if found advisable.

Of the buildings in progress under former authorizations, five have
been finished during the year, and on twenty work is in progress.

There has been expended during the year on l^e public buildings
under control of the Department, $2,349,249.65 for construction,
$160,618.03 for repairs, and $137,137.06 for heating apparatus, ele-
vators, vaults, safes, and locks. ^

DISTRICT OP COLUMBIA.

The net expenditures on account of the District of Columbia for the
fiscal year 1882 were $3,330,543.87. The revenues deposited in the
Treasury for the same period were $1,715,176.41.

Since December 1, 1881, the bonded indebtedness was reduced by
operation of the sinking-fund $250,350, and the annual interest charge
upon the District debt was reduced $13,795.05. Since the office of the
commissioners of the sinking-fund of the District of Columbia was abol-
ished and their duties and powers were transferred to the Treasurer pf
the United States by the act of Congress of June 11, 1878, the funded
debt has been reduced in the principal sum $1,189,250, and the annual
interest charge thereon has been reduced $69,587.67.

The several reports of the heads of offices and bureaus are herewith
respectfully transmitted.

The Department is pleased to report that a,s yet there is no deficiency
in the appropriations placed by Congress at its disposal.

*In the amount here stated as the outstanding principal of the public debt are included the. certifi-
cates of deposit outstanding on the 30th of tTune, issued under act of J une 8, 1872, for which a like
amount in United States notes was on special deposit in the Treasury for their redemption, and added
to the cash balance in the Treasury. These certificates, as a matter of accounts, are treated as a part
of the public debt, but, being offset by notes held on deposit for their redemption, should properly be
deducted from the principal of the public debt in making comparison with former years.

STATFMEJS^T of the PUBLIC DEBT, mcluding ACCRUED INTEREST thereon, less

* It will be noticed that there is a difference in the amounts represented by these two statements as
the principal of the debt July 1, 1869, and July 1, 1870. This difference is explained thus: In the prin-
cipal of the debt as shown by the monthly debt-statements of these dates, the^bonds purchased for the
sinking-fund and paid for from money in the Treasury, were included as a part of the outstanding debt
and were also treated in the cash as a cash- item, or asset, for the reason that at that time there was no
authority or law for deducting them from the outstanding debt. Congress, by the sixth section of the
act of July 14, 1870, directed that these bonds should be canceled and destroyed and deducted from the
amount of each class of the outstanding debt to which they respectively belonged, and such deductions

Notk 1. — The annual interest charge is computed upon the amount of outstanding principal at the close of the fiscal year, and is exclusive of interest charge on Pacific
Pailway bonds. . ,

Note 2. — The figures for July 1, 1879, vrere made up, assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.

Note 3. — The temporary loan, per act of July 11, 1862, is included in the 4 percents, from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, Avith the exception of the amount outstanding for August
31, 1865, this being the date at vrhich the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 per cent, to 6 per cent., and was redeemable on ten days’ notice
after thirty days; but being constantly changing, it has been considered more equitable to include the whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent, interest on an average
for the year:

Note 4. — In the recent monthly statements of the public debt, the interest accrued has been added to the priucipal, making the net debt larger in that amount than the
amount herein stated for each year.

REPORT ON THE SILVER-PROFIT FUND. ‘ '

J^Bw YoiiK^ April 28^ 1SS2.

Sni: 1 have the honor to report that, pursuant to your instructions
of tlie 7th instant, I have made an examination of the silver profit-
fund account^^ of the several coinage mints, and herewith present
statements of that account ; also statements of the silver bullion^’ and
‘^silver-coinage” accounts for the fiscal years 1879, 1880, and 3881. The
accompanying statements are numbered froni 1 to 13, inclusive. As
will be seen b.y these accounts, the total amount placed to the credit of
the silver-pro tit fund during the period' covered by this investigation
was $10,081,496.31, wliich has been disposed of as follows, viz :

Beposited in the Treasury of the United States- $9,776,020 24

Expenses of distribution and allowances for wastage
by operative officers 305, 476 07

10,081,496 31'*

The amount as giveu in a report lately t)ul)lished was $ 10,181,496.31,
showing a difference of $100,000, which is accounted for as follows, vis :

V On Jul^- 1, 1878, the silver-profit fund of the San Francisco Mint
showed a credit balance of $137,182.25, but the records of the Treasury
Department show that $100,000 of this balance had been deposited by
X order of the Secretary of the Treasury, on June 28, 1878, with the
Treasurer of the United States at Washington, D. C. iTotice of this
transaction did not reach San Francisco until the third quarter of 1878,
and in the absence of 'Such notice, the" Superintendent of the Mint had
no authority^ to take credit for said deposit. Hence Ids balance of
$137,182.25 Nvas a nominal balance, the actual amount being $37,182.25.
In order that the whole traiisactiou may^ be shown in the consolidated
statement of the silver-profit fund, the nominal balance has been
brought forward as on hand at San Francisco July 1, 1878, and the de-
posit of $ 100,000 made June 26, 1878, has been deducted to show the
actual balance on hand, viz, $37,182.25. The warrant by which the
$100,000. was covered into the Treasury having been taken up in the
statement as a credit, a corresponding deduction has been made upon
the credit side of the account. In other words, a counter entry of
$100,000 has been made, which reduces the total to $10,081,496.25, this
being the correct amount of the profit at the four coinage mints from
June 30, 1878, to July 1, 1881.

The difficulty of calculating the profits on the coinage of silver in
any other way than by taking the average cost of the bullion for a given
period is shown by the following facts, viz:

The act of February 28, 1878, authorizing the coinage of the stand-
ard silver dollar, directed the Secretary of the Treasury^ to' purchase
silver bullion at the market price, not less than $2,000,000 — nor more

than $4j000,000 — worth per iTionth, and cause the same to he coined as
fast as purchased into silver dollars, and that any gain or seigniorage
arising from this coinage should be accounted for and paid into the
Treasury as provided by the law relating to the subsidiary coinage.
(Section 3528 Eevised Statutes.)

Silver for this purpose is obtained by weekly purchases made by a
Commission, consisting of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the
Treasurer of the United States, and the Director of the Mint, of lots of
■ not less than 10,000 ounces, offers being made by telegraph every Thurs-
day! The silver so purchased is delivered to the mint designated, the
Superintendent receiving and paying for the same, charging himself
with the amount received in standard ounces. In addition to this, the
Superintendents of the Mints have authority from the Secretary to pur-
chase lots of less than 10,000 ounces when offered at prices fixed from
day to da}" or from week to week by the Director. Silver is also ob-
tained for this purpose by the purchase, by the Supeiintendents, of the
silver contained in deposits of gold bullion, by the return of surplus sil-
ver bullion by the operative officers, by the remelting of coins, by the
payment of the Government charges on deposits of silver bullion for
bars, in bullion, and, finally, from the sweepings of the floors of the de-
posit-melting rooms and the scrapings of the crucibles.

The law allows depositors to deposit silver bullion in the nriiut to be
made into bars. The charges imposed for the operations are collected
in bullion, thereby adding to the stock of silver whieh can be used in
the coinage of the silver dollars.

\ The sources from which silver to be used in coinage may be obtained
may be summarized as follows :

Purchases by the Silver Comuiission.

Purchases by Superintendents (less than 10,000 ounces).

X^urchases of the silver contained in deposits of gold bulliom

Payment of mint charges in silver bullion.

Surplus bullion returned by operative officers.

Silver bullion recovered from deposit-melting room.

Goins deposited by the Assistant Treasurer for recoinage.

The difference between the cost of the silver thus obtained and the
^ face value of the coins which it will make, is the profit to the Govern-
ment which the law authorizes to be credited to a fund called Silver-
, profit fund.” These profits can be used by law for the following x)ur-
poses viz : '

For expenses of distributing silver dollars, for payment of silver
wasted in coinage and the preparation of ingots, and for j)ayment of
loss on sweeps sold.

From , the variety of sources aud the different prices at which this
bullion is obtained, it will be seen that the material of which a single
dollar is composed may have been acquired at several different rates.
It is impossible to follow a single deposit of bullion through the vari-
ous manipulations it undergoes from the time it is received at the mint
until its coinage, and accurately determine the profit on that particular
deposit, as no one deposit is separately manipulated, it having been
found by experience to be more economical to mix new bullion with
that which has been previously melted than to treat it separately.

Section 3506 of the Eevised Statutes provides that the amount re-
. maining in the silver-proht fund, after paying the wastage and expenses
. of distributing the coins, shall be from time to time covered into the
Treasury. The wording of the last clause is: ‘‘The balance to the

REPORT OF. THE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY. 55

credit of tliis fund shall be from time to time, and at least twice a year,
paid into the Treasury of the United States* .

The regulations governing the mint service, approved by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, provide that all profits, gains, and charges, to-
gether with the funds arising from the sale of by-products and old mrate-.
rials, must be covered quarterly into the Treasury of the United States,
and no portion thereof used for the payment of salaries or ordinary ex-
penses.’^ The practice has been to cover into the Treasury i)rofits on
the coinage of silver at such times and in such amounts as best suited
the general business of the mints and the Department. The accounts
show the amounts covered into the Treasury by transfers from the
‘‘silver profit-fund account” to the “bullion-fund account,” and the
coin does not leave the vaults of the mint.

When a sufficient amount of profits have accumulated at any mint,
in the judgment of the Director, he addresses a letter to the Secretary
^ of the Treasury requesting that such amount be deposited and trans-
ferred to the Superintendent’s bullion fund, and the Secretary directs
the Treasurer to make a deposit in the name of the Superintendent and
issue at the same time a transfer order charging it to his bullion fund.

It has never been held by, the Director of the Mint that the exact
balance at the close of the fiscal year should be at that time covered
into the Treasury. This, in, the judgment of the Director, would notI)e
practicable, for the reason that the expenses of distributing the coins
^ are being incurred daily, and it is necessary to keep a portion of the
profits on hand to pay this expense, as well as to pay the loss op the
silver in sweeps sold, and the operative officers’ silver wastage. The
Superintendent is charged with the profits, whether in the silver-profit
account or after transfer to the bullion fund.

The bullion accounts of the mints, which are very elaborate and
voluminous reports, do not reach the office of the Director for some
two months after the close of the quarter for which they are rendered,
and it is thought desirable to examine the accounts and check the pay-
^ ments from the silver-profit fund in order to verify the balance of silver
profits on hand before ordering the full amount to be covered into the
Treasury. Should an amount be covered into the Treasur^^ by exTor, it
cannot be withdrawn except by an act of Congress.

"Prior to the 1st of January, 1881, the profits on the coinage of silver
were declared on the silver purchased, in accordance with the regula-
tions of 1874, approved by the Secretary of the Ti^easury, page' 13,
which reads: “It is directed, therefoi^e, that on all silver purchased or
^ parted, a i>rofit shall be credited at the end of each quartex', equal to
the difference between the rate of purchase and issue.” In accordance
with these regulations the silver bullion purchased was charged to the
Superintendent at its cost. He was also charged with the difference
between the cost of the bullion and face value of the standard silver
dollars it would make. This regulation had for its object the keeping
of the accounts at one unit of value. During the three fiscal years
1879, 1880, and 1881, there were coined at the Philadelphia xnint $21,-
081.75 subsidiary silver coin, and the additional profit arising from the
difference in weight between two half dollars and a standard dollar was
credited to the silver-profit fund as an additional profit.

No subsidiary silver was coined at any other coinage mint duiing the
thi'ee fiscal years under consideration.

From the facts ascertained during this, examination at the Bux'eau
of the Mint and at the mint in Philadelphia, where I witnessed the
actual workings of the operative officers, I am of opinion that itisim-

possible to divert any of t be funds belonging to the silveivprofit fund
account from their proper channel,, except through collusion between the
Superintendent and the several officers of each mint, for the following
reasons, viz: First The Superintendent of each mint is charged with
the silver bullion purchased for coinage by weight in standard ounces,
as determined from the fineness reported by the assayer, and he must
account for the number of ounces delivered to him. Second. This bul-
lion he delivers by weight to the melter and refiner to be made into
ingots, and receives back by weight the ingots to be made into coin,
wMch ingots are in turn delh^ered to the coiner, the coiner returning
coin and bullion in clippings, &c. Third. Receipts for weight in
standard ounces pass for all these transactions. These receipts accom-
pan.y the bullion accounts as vouchers, and there is no way that the
Sui)erintendent can obtain a credit for any of this bullion, except in
the manner stated. He must account for the number of ounces of bullion
delivered to him, by making it into com, by the %vastage of the opera-
tive officers in their business and the amount sold in'siveeps.

On the 30th of June of each year since the organization of the office
of Director of the Mint, the coin and bullion iu the Superintendents^
possession have been weighed by representatives of the Department, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether the officers had in their possession
the balances called for by their books and accounts; and these accounts
have been certified and allowed by the First Auditor and the Fiz'st
Comptroller, and the bullion and coin actually iveighed by examiners
designated by the Director for that purpose.

From the facts ascertained by the examination of this account for the
period under consideration, I am of the opinion that the silver-profit
fund has been properly accounted for.

I was greatly assisted in making up these accounts by Mr. Thomas
Rathbone, of the Second Auditor’s Office. On my return, I made an
examination of the books and accounts of the Philadelphia mint, and
found them to agree in every particular with the accounts of that insti-
tion, as prepared by Mr. Rathbone and myself froip the quarterly ac-
counts on file in the Department.

Yerv respectfully,

WILLIAM SHERER.

Hon. Charles J. Foluer,

66 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

NOXES APPERTAINING TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF SILVER-PROFIT FUND.

* The total amount fjiven in the report heretofore i)ubUshecl is $10, 181, 496 31

' The total as per the above statement is ' 10, 081, 496 31

ShoTTing a difference of , 100, 000 00

Which is accounted for as follows :

On July 1, 1878, the silver xHofit fund account of San Francisco Mint showed a balance of $137, 182. 25
on hand, but the records of the Treasury Department prove that $100,000 of this balance was deposited
by order of the Secretary of the Treasury, on June 26, 1878. Notice of this deposit did not reach San
Francisco until the third quaiter, 1878, and in the absence of such notice the Superintendent of the
Mint had no authority to take credit for such deposit. Hence his balance of $137,182.25 was a nominal
balance, the actual amount being $37, 182.25.

, In order tbat the whole transaction may appear in this '^'consolidated statement, ” the nominal bal-
ance of $137, 182. 25 has beeu brought forwai’d as on hand at San Francisco, July 1, 1878, and the deposit
of $100,000 made on Juno 26,. 1878, has been deducted from said balance, so as to show the actual bal-
ance on band, namely, $37,182.25. The waixant by which the $100,000 was covered into the Treasury
having been, taken up as a credit in this statement, a similar deduction has been made on the credit
side of the account. In other words, a counter entry of $100,000 has been made, which reduces the
total to $10,081,496.31, that being the correct amount of the transactions at the four coinage mints on
account of the " silver^profil-f mid," from July 1, 1878, to June 30, 1881.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

-cal year last ended.* , There will probably be some diminution in the re-
ceipts for the present fiscal year as compared with last year, but it is
not likely that the collections of internal revenue for the current year
will fall below $145,000,000 should the taxes now imposed be retained.

It is an old and sound maxim that no more revenue should be raised
than is necessary for an economical administration of the government
and a gradual reduction of the public debt. Although taxation may be
so wisely adjusted as not to operate asa'severe burden upon the people,
when the amount collected is beyond the actual needs of the govern-
inent there is presented a constant temptation to extravagance in ap-
propriations. Another consideration attending the existing ovei'flowing
condition of the public Treasury cannot have failed to attract your
notice. If the present rate of paying the principal of the public debt be
continued, all the bonds subject to call will be i>aid Avithin three years;
after which time the government will be compelled, in order to dispose
of its surplus revenue, to buy in open market the 4^ per cent. bond,s
which fall due in 1891, of the 4 per cent, bonds which fall due in 1907.
Should the government thus become an active purchaser of these bonds
before maturity it seems clear that they would advance in price tO 25
or 30 per cent, premium, to pay Avhich would certainly be regarded as
a waste of the people’s money. It seems to me judicious that the prin-
cipal of the public debt should be extinguished, as was originally con-
templated, only at the rate necessary to meet the requirements of the
sinking fund, viz, to the extent of about $55,000,000 per annum. There-
fore, it becomes obvious that a reduction of from seA^enty to eighty mill-
ions in the annual revenues\)f the country could be safely entered upon,
and in my judgment such a reduction is urgently called for. I respect-
fully off'er some suggestions for your considei‘ation in this regard.

Sound policy would seem to require that in remitting taxation the
relief should fall as far as possible upon those articles Avhich are neces-
saries of life, and upon those interests which are of pressing impor-
tance to the country. The great bulk of in tern ah revenue taxation is de-
rived from distilled spirits (about nine-tenths of which are used as a
bcAwage), malt liquors, tobacco, and cigars. These are not articles of
necessary consumption, but are articles of luxury, the taxes upon which
are really paid by the consumers, and no one need consume them. I am
strongly of the opinion that, so long as the principle of deriving part
of the revenue of the government from internal taxation is retained,
these articles, and the dealers therein, are proper subjects for taxation.
'There is no demand on the part of consumers of these products for the
remission of the taxes imposed upon them; there is no public senti-
ment calling lor their repeal; on the contrary, the general current of
public opinion seems to be in favor of their retention.

The other objects of internal- revenue taxation, with the amounts
realized therefrom during the past fiscal year, are as follows :

Friction matches - |3, 272, 258 00

Patent medicines, perfumery, &c 1, 978, 395 56

COMMISSIONEE OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 71,

•As suggested in my report for 1880, these taxes should, in my opinion^

‘ ' be repealed. The tax on friction matches is more or less felt in every
" household. The tax on savings-bank deposits is a tax on thrift. The
tax on patent medicines, x>erfumeries, and cosmetics is vexatious, being
levied upon innumerable articles. The taxes on bank capital, bank de-
posits, and bank checks are not needed for purposes of revenue, and
can therefore be dispensed with, and the latter tax is largely amenable'
to the objection made to the tax on deposits in savings banks — that it
is an impost laid upon the practice of economy, which it should be the
design of all good governments to encourage.

The repeal of these taxes would greatly simplify the internal-revenue
system., Then, if to the eighteen and three-quarter millions of reduc-
tion thus proposed Congress should add a reduction in the charges for
special taxes to dealers in articles taxed for internal revenue substantially
as proposed in the bill now pending before the Senate, a still farther
diminution of taxation would be attained, and the supervision over
dealers in taxable articles, which experience has shown to be necessary
in order to fully and fairly collect the taxes from all alike, would still be
preserved./

Keducing all these special taxes 40 per cent., the remissions under
this head would be as follows, on the basis of last yearns collections :

The act of March 1, 1879, reduced the tax on tobacco from 24 cents
per pound to 16 cents per pound, but did not reduce the tax on cigars
and cigarettes. A corresponding reduction on cigars would be to $4
per thousand, and on cigarettes to $1.20 per thousand. This, I think,
should be done, and would amount to a reduction of taxes of $6,746,000.

This would make a total reduction of internal-revenue taxes (includ-
ing the taxes on national banks) as follows :

72^ REPORT ON THE FINANCES. *

possible to foresee the effect which a reduction of the rate of duties on
many of the great lines of imi)ortation would have upon the receipts
from customs. It is contended that a reduction of duty upon many ar-
ticles would so increase the importation of them as to yield an actual
increase of reveuue. The demand of the bour i.s for legislation that will
reduce the receipts of the government I venture to suggest \yhether
it is not desirable to consider the practicability of taking the duty off
sugar. About 2,200,000,000 pounds of sugar are annually consumed in
the United States, 10 per cent, of which is produced in this country.
Upon the 2,000,000,001) pounds imported, the government realizes a
revenue of $49,000,000. Sugar is one of the necessaries of life 5 it is
consumed in every household. Should this duty be removed, there
would be not only a certain and large reduction of revenue, but the
benefit of that reduction would immediately inure to the people. The
best refined sugar, which now sells at 10 cents a pound retail, could be
sold at seven cents if the duty were removed, and the total reduction
would amount to very nearly one dollar per capita per annum of the
ejitire population of the country.

The* objection to this measure would be the abolition of the protection
now afforded to the sugar interests of Louisiana and other States. This
difficulty might be met by giving a bounty of, say, two and one-half
cents per pound upon all home-produced sugar. The cultivation of
sugar in this country is not a rapidly-growing industry ; there is no pros-
pect that the production of cane sugar will ever bear a greater propor-
tion to the consumption than at present. If the area of the lands suit-
able for the growth of sugar cane was large, and the industry was one .
which would develop I'apidly under the eucourageraeiit of protective
legislation, so that the constantly growing demand for sugar would be
overtaken and supplied by a home product, the question would be very
difierentj but such is not the case. Sugar-cane is a tropical plant, and,
its cultivation in the United States is confined to a small portion of
Louisiana, Florida, and Texas,^and where grown it is subject to the haz-
ards of frosts and floods, so that a maximum crop is not produced oftener
than eveiy other year, as will be seen from the following figures, which
show the quantities of sugar and molasses produced for the years named :

The quantitj^ of sugar imported during the fiscal year 1861 was
511,000,000 pounds, while the quantity imported during the fiscal year
1882 was 1,900,000,000 pounds. It is thus seen that while the home

product has not increased in twenty-one years, the importations have
increased almost fourfold.

I apprehend if sugar were not produced in this country Congress
•would not hesitate. to remove the duty from imported sugiar as the best
means of reducing taxation. The presim t law gives to the sugar planters
of this'country, indirectly, about $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 per aunum. ,
My proposition would be to give them this amount directly and let the
whole people have the benetit of the reduction of taxation of, say,
$49,000,000, which would in this way be effected. '

The principle of paying a bounty for the encouragement and develop-
ment of American industry is not new ; it was adopted in the case of

our fisheries as early as 1813, and was continued for more than fifty
years. Millions of dollars have been paid out during this period to
American fishermen for fish caught and exported, and we are still giv-
ing to this industry the bonus of allowing them to withdraw salt free
of duty and of requiring from them no tonnage dues. As a matter of
principle, a bounty to our sugar interests would, in my opinion, be no
more objectionable than similar encouragement to our fisheries.

These reductions, if made, would amount to $77,531,888.

REPORT. ON THE FINANCES.

BONOS APPROVED AND AMOUNTS RECOVERED THEREON.

The following tables will be interesting as showing the number of •
bonds received an<^^ approved by collectors of internal revenue during
the past six years, in connection with the manufacture of spirits, malt
liquors, tobacco, and cigars, the warehousing, of distilled spirits, and
the exportation of taxable articles. It will be seen that 139,641 bonds
have been executed, aggregating the penal sum of $701,726,043.20 ; the
sum of $25,955.74 has been collected from sureties, and $97,336.09 re-
covered on distilled spirits on judgments not yet collected.

This exhibit reflects great credit upon the ofiicers receiving and ap-
proving. the bonds, and upon the taxpayers who executed them, the
amount recovered from sureties being infinitesimal as compared with
the detailed collections of taxes:

ACCOUNTABILITY FOR STAMPS RECEIVED.

A committee was appointed on the 7 th June last at my request to
count the stamps on hand in the vaults of this office, and to verify the
account of stamps received and issued. The committee consisted of
Mr. T. L. De Land, Office of the Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. S. C.
Clarke, First Comptroller's Office, and Mr. Y. N. Stiles, Filth Auditor’s
Office. The committee was furnished with a statement showing the
transactions in stamps from October 4, 1877 (the date of the transfer of the
stock of stamps to this Bureau by the New York Bank Note Companies,
and the commencement of printing of stamps by the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing), to June 10, 1882 (the date of the commencement of
work by the committee). The total number of stamps received during the
period was 2,544,344,342; value, $711,180,978.63; issued, 2,381,155,648;
value, $668,974,384.46; leaving the balance on hand June 10, 1882,
163,188,694 stamps; value, $42,206,594.17. The balance of stamps was
counted under the direction of the committee and found to be correct to
a stamp, and the value agreed to a cent with the balance shown by the
books of this office. This immense quantity of stamps has been re-
ceived, counted, and issued without an error resulting in the loss of a
stamp.

A detailed statement showing the number and value of the stamps
received and issued during the six years, and of the balance remaining
on hand, is given at page 92 of this report. ,

GENERAL CONDITION OF THE SERVICE.

The condition of the service is all that can be desired. The reports
of the insiiecting officers show that an admirable esj^rit de corps actuates
every officer in the performance of his duties.

I desire to extend my thanks to the officers of internal revenue
throughout the country for their zeal and energy in bringing about this
result. The thanks of this office are also due to the United States mar-
shals for their hearty co-operation with the internal-revenue officers in
enforcing the laws.

DISTILLED SPIRITS IN BOND.

Some months ago many of the leading sweet-mash distillers made an
arrangement for a reduction of the producing capacity of their distil-
leries, and for limiting the manufacture of their line of distilled spirits
to the demands of the trade. They have recently been followed by a
large number of sour-mash distillers with a somewhat similar arrange-
ment. The effect will be to cut down the production of all classes of
distilled spirits to the demands of thb trade.

On the30th dayof June,1882, the spirits remainingin warehouses reached
the highest point, namely, 89,962,645 gallons. Since that time there has
been a gradual reduction in the amount remaining in warehouses, and
on the 1st day of November, 1882, the amount was 84,628,331 gallons.
This large stock mainly consists of fine grades of whisky, the ta"x upon
which, will fall due from month to month until the last withdrawal,
i which must be made November 6, 1885.

If the future demand for this class of goods is to be judged of by the
withdrawals of similar goods tax-paid during the past few years, the
stock now on hand is equal to six years’ consumption. To postpone the
payment of the tax on this stock until its withdrawal is required by the

80 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

demands of trade, a movement bas been set on foot for its exportation
and reimportation, and storage in customs bonded warehouses. This is
entire!}^ practicable, under exisiting laws, and it becomes a questiou
whether it would not be better to afford by legislation the relief sought
to be obtained by this indirect means. An extension of the bonded
period for a reasonable time need not impair the security of the govern-
ment for its taxes, and would in no manner tend to reduce the income
of the government from this source of revenue which has up to this
period resulted from the natural laws of trade and the demand for dis-
^ tilled spirits for consumption. By this mea7)s the expenses of transpor-
tation both ways and custom-house charges abroad would be saved.

THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS.

It affords me great pleasure to report that the supremacy of the laws
of the United States for the collection of its inte^rnal revenues has been
established in all parts of the country. Frauds in the manufacture and
sale of whishy and tobacco in the districts where they have hitherto
most prevailed have become the exception rather than the rule; There
is no longer organized resistance to the authority of the government,
the people render obedience to the laws, and the taxes are collected
without unnecessary friction and with but little litigation. To maintain
this favorable condition of things and to prevent the recurrence of
frauds it will be necessary to continue the system of careful policing
which has brought about this result.

I have to record with extreme regret, as signalizing the closing hours
of the long struggle maintained against the enforcement of the internal*
revenuh laws, the murder of .Deputy Collector James ,M. Davis, near '
McMinnville, Tenn., in March last. Captain Davis was one of the
^ V bravest and most efficient officers engaged in the suppression of illicit
distilling. Whilst on his way from court he was waylaid on the public !
highway in broad daylight by ten or more assassins, concealed behind ^
an ambush of logs and bushes specially constructed for the purpose, and
^ was deliberately murdered under circumstances of peculiar atrocity whilst

bravely defending himself to the last. The place where this crime was
. committed ^is in the midst of a well-settled country. There is circum^

stantial evidence that the assassination was plotted in a place of public
resort not far from the scene of the murder. Citizens rode by whilst
Davis’s body was still warm and before his slayers were fairly out of
sight, yet, though liberal rewards have been, ohered for the detection
and arrest of the criminals, no evidence has yet been obtained upon,
which an arrest could be based.

PENSIONS TO WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF OFFICERS KILLED.

The successful close of the struggle to establish and maintain the
internal-revenue laws of the United States is in my opinion a fitting
occasion to renew the recommendation in my last report for the grant-
ing of pensions to persons disabled while engaged in enforcing said
laws, and to the widows and orphans of officers killed in the discharge
of their duty. The service in which these officers were engaged was par-
ticularly hazardous. Fo alternative being left except to meet force with
force, they were armed by the government with breech-loading carbines
to protect themselves against the assaults of those who resisted its au-
thority. In this struggle thirty-one officers and employes have been
killed and sixty-four wounded. I respectfully submit that these wounded
officers and the widows and orphans of those Avho have been slain have,
a just claim upon the bounty of the government, and I earnestly recom-
" mend early legislation upon the subject.

TE1^M OP OFPICE OP COLLECTORS.

. I have the honor to again recommend that a law be passed fixing the
term of office for collectors of internal revenue at four years, and I far-
ther recommend that said law shall provide that collectors of internal
revenue shall not be subject to removal except for such causes as are
designated in said law. I am satisfied that the incorporation into
the civil service of the principle of a fixed term and removal for cause
only, would result in a marked improvement in the public service, and
would meet what I seems to me a just and growing demand of public
opinion. ’ ;

FIXED SALARIES FOR UNITED STATES MARSHALS AND DISTRICT AT-
TORNEYS.

I respectfully call attention to the remarks under this head in my last
annual report, and again recommend legislation in accordance Avith the
recommendation therein contained.

REDEMPTION OF STAMPS.

I renew the recommendation made in my last two reports that that
' ^portion.of section 17 of the act of March 1, 1879, which prohibits the
redemption of stamps unless the same are presented within three years
after their purchase from the government or a government agent fo^'
the sale of stamps, be repealed.

LEOISLA.TION CONCEBNINO MANUFACTURE OF VINEGAR.

I also renew the recommendation made in previous reports for the
passage of a law prohibiting the manufacture of vinegar by the alco-
holic vaporizing process provided, for in section 5 of the act of March
I, 1879, or subjecting vinegar factories using the vaporizing process to
the supervision of a government storekeeper, and to a certain extent
to other safeguards, as now required in the case of distillers of spirits.
Further experience only confirms the opinion which I have heretofore
expressed of the necessity for the indicated legislation for the protec-
tion of the revenue from dangerous frauds. Should it be deemed best'
to continue the present system, under suitable safeguards, it might, be
well to make such additional provisions as will permit the manufact-
urer to fully avail himself of the right to condense alcoholic vapor with-
out the waste of material incident to the present process. The compen-
sation of store keeper, if provided, should be reimbursed to the govern-
ment by the manutactuier.

EXAMINATION OF GLUCOSE AND METHYLATED SPIRITS.

At the request of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House
of Representatives I am having an examination made of a number of
samples of glucose, both dry and sirup, for the purpose of testing its
saccharine qualitiCvS and healthfulness.

Tests are also bei ng made of methylated spirits to determine whether
alcohol mixed with wood naphtha can be restored to its original purity.
These experiments are being made by the Academy of Sciences, and re-
ports are now expected, when they will be transmitted for the informa-
tion of the committee.

MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.

The act of Congress approved March 3, 1881, making provision for the
legislative, executive, and judicial expenses for the year ending June
30, 1882, required the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to make a de-
tailed statement of all miscellaneous expenditures in the Bureau of In-
ternal Revenue, for which appropriation was made in that act. In ac-
cordance with the aforesaid requirement, I submit the following detailed
statement of miscellaneous expenses incurred :

The qiiaiitity of tobacco removed from manufactories for exportation
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, is 143,083 pounds greater
than that removed during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881. The num-
ber of cigars is 725,920 greater ; and of cigarettes is 26,338,440 greater.
The number of cigarettes exported in 1882 exceeds the number exported
in 1881 by 70 per cent.

In this connection I call attention to the following paragraph which
appeared in my reports for 1880 and 1881, and renew the recommenda-
tion contained therein :

It, however, appears that iu striking out a portion of section 3385 Revised Statutes,
and substituting for the portion stricken out the aiuendatory provisions of the new
law, the language of that part of section 3385 relied upon as authorizing the exporta-
tion of tobacco, snuff, aud cigars by railroad cars and other land conveyances was,
through inadvertence, not restored. I see no good reasons why the exportation of
these articles under section 3385, as amended, should he confined to vessels, and I would
therefore recommend that as early as possible in the next session of Congress the law
be amended so as to clearly provide for the exportation of tobacco, snuff, and cigars by
railroad or other land conveyances. .

REVIEW OP TAXATION OP TOBACCO.

In June, 1872, a uniform tax of 20 cents a pound was imposed on all
classes of inahufactured tobacco except snuff', which was taxed at the
rate of 32 cents a pound. In 1875 the uniform tax was increased from
20 to 24 cents a pound, 5 and in Marchj 1879, the tax on all manufact-
ured tobacco, including snuff^ was reduced to 16 cents a pound. In 1875
the tax on cigars was increased from $5 per thousand to $6, and the
tax on cigarettes from $1.25 per thousand to $1.75.

The following statement shows the collections from special and spe- .
cific taxes on tobacco of all descriptions, including snuff', cigars, ami

The large iucrdase since 1878 over the general average of the last ten
years in the quantity of manufactured tobacco and numbers of cigars
and cigarettes on which taxes have been collected is^ in my opinion, to
be attributed to two causes :

First. The improved condition of the times, whereby all are enhbied
to “^purchase tobacco or cigars who desire to do so. .

Second, The supervision exercised over the entire industry and tin
ncreased vigilance of the various officers of the service iu detecting au(
^reporting all cases of fraud, and holding every man to a strict compl
ance with the law. , "

The quantity of spirits, 89,962,645 gallons, actually remaining in ware-'
house June 30, 1882, is the quantity as shown by the original gauge of
each package.

The quantity of spirits withdrawn from distillery waiiehouses for
exportation daring the year was 8,092,725 gallons.

DISTILLED SIHRTTS ALLOWED FOR LOSS BY LEAKAGE OR EVAPORA-
TION IN WAREHOUSES.

The quantity of spirits, 1,231,336 gallons, reported in the preceding
table as lost by leakage or evaporation in warehouse is that portion of
the actual leakage in warehouse from packages withdrawn during the
year which has been allowed in accordance Avith the provisions of sec-
tion 17 of the act of May 28, 1880. It is noted that in most cases the
quantity allowed by the law has covered the entire loss, so that the
above quantity is belieA^ed to indicate almost the entire loss in ware-
house on the spirits withdrawn during the year, except in cases of cas-
ualty, and may be safely u^ed as a factor in computing probable losses
on spirits in distillery wareliouses.

The leakage allowed during June, 1880, Avas 75,834 gallons, and the
quantity allowed during the year ended June 30, 1881, was 811,466 gal-
lons, making the total allowances to July 1, 1882, 2,118,636 gallons.

In the consideration of a bill to amend the laws relating to the entry
of distilled spirits in distillery warehouses and special bonded Avare-
houses, and the withdrawal of the same therefrom (H. E. 5656, Forty-

seventh OoagresS; first session), the question arose as to whether the
allowances for leakage authorized by section 17 of the act of May 28,
1880, were adequate or excessive.

In order to assist in determining the question, a large number of
gaugers’ reports of withdrawals of spirits from warehouse, w^as exam-
ined. The examination showed that under ordinaiy conditions the
quantity lost was oftener less than the maximum allowance than more
than the maximum allowance. The average losses in cold warehouses
were found to be uniforml^^ less than the maximum allmVances. In
heated warehouses, however, the average loss was sometimes found to
be greater. Upon examination of gaugers’ reports, selected at random,
^covering spirits withdrawn from cold warehouses, it was found that the
average actual loss as to 164 packages withdrawn wdthin sixty days
after deposit in warehouse, i. 6., during the first period named in the
law, Avas .96 of the maximum allowed b}' the law^ the loss as to 146
packages Avithdrawn during the second period was .37 of the maximum
allowance; as to 71 packages withdrawn during the third period, the
loss was .53 of the maximum; as to 96 packages AAdthdrawn during the
fourth period, the. loss was .69 of the maximum; as to 131 packages
A\dthdrawn during the fifth period, the loss Avas .78 of the maximum;
as to 128 packages AvithdraAvn during the sixth period, the loss Avas .75
of the maximum; as to 99 packages withdrawn during the seventh
period, the loss Avas .71 of the maximum; as to 94 packages withdrawn
during the eighth period, the loss was .60 of the maximum; as to 179
packages withdrawn during the ninth period, the loss Avas .65 of the
maximum; as to 167 packages withdraAvn during the tenth period, the
loss was .68 of the maximum; as to 144 packages withdrawn during the
eleventh period, the loss was .61 of the maximum; as to .85 packages
withdrawn during the twelfth period, the loss was .66 of the maximum ;
as to 192 packages withdrawn duxing tlie thirteenth period, the loss
Av as .70 of the maximum; and as to 421 packages AvithdraAvn during
the fourteenth and last jAeriod, the aA-erage loss w^as .76 of the maxi-
mum.

Yei'y few Avithdrawals of spirits less than ten months old were found
to have been made fi'om heated Avarehouses, and the average losses as
to these few cases did not vary materially from those occuiTing in cold
Avarehouses. As to 207 i>ackages withdrawn from heated warehouses
during the sixth peiiod named in the law (eleA Cu and twelve months),
the aA-erage loss was .87 of the maximum; as to 217 packages Avith-
drawn during the scA^enth period, the aA-erage loss was .94 of the maxi-
mum; as to 92 packages withdraAvu during the eighth period, the aver-
age loss was .86 of the maximum; as to 23 packages withdi^awn during
the ninth period, the average loss Avas 1.00 of the maximum; as to 179
packages Avithdrawn during the tenth period, the aA-erage loss was .80
of the maximum; as to 92 packages withdrawn during the eleventh
period, the average loss Avas .87 of the maximum; as to 43 packages
withdrawn during the twelfth xxeriod, the average loss was .81 of the
maximum; as to 43 packages withdraAvn during the thirteenth period,
the average loss was .90 of the maximum ; and as to 379 packages with-
drawn during the fourteenth period, the aA-erage loss ’ was .91 of the
maximum allowed by laAV.

SPIRITS REMAINING IN WAREHOUSES AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.

In my report for the year ended June 30, 1879, it was shown that the
quantity (19,212,470 gallons) in warehouses June 30,1879, exceeded the
quantity iii warehouse at the close of any preceding fiscal year. This
quantity, however, was much exceeded by the quantity (31,363,869 gal-
lons) remaining in warehouse June 30, 1880, which latter quantity is
more than doubled by the quantity (64,648,111 gallons) in warehouse
June 30, 1881, and more than trebled by the quantity (89,962,645 gal-
lons) in warehouse June 30, 1882.

In connection with the foregoing statement I have to renew the recom-
mendation made in niy previous reports (1880, 1881), that section 3244,
Eev. Stat., be /SO amended as to include distilling worms belonging to
' stills manufactured for export, which, like stills, are subject to a tax
of $20 each. Also, that an appropriation be made for the payment of
drawback on articles exported under said section 3244, Eev. Stat. While
a number of claims covering stills have been allowed by this office
during the past three years, and by the authority conferred by section
3244, yet the claimants in such cases have been unable to recover the
amount of drawback so awarded them by this office, in consequence of
the failure of Congress to make the necessary appropriation. While the

amounts due these claimants ai^e not large, the promise made by the
law to this class of tax-payers should, nevertheless, be redeemed, and
I urgently call attention to this matter, in order tha^t ,the payment of
these claims may be provided for..

COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 129

On legacies and successions, and on incomes and dividends.

The reduction in the amount assessed on circulation, which has. been
principally the ten per (jentuin tax, on notes issued by manufacturing*
establishments and used fbr circulation, shows how nearly this kind of cur-
rency has been supplanted by the legal money of the country. The small
amount of only $1,921.81 was assessed last year against $10,788.02 in the
previous fiscal year. It may be also stated that nearly all such notes on
which the tax was assessed have already been withdrawn from circula-
tion.

The reduction of taxes assessed on fermented liquors and tobacco,
snuff, and cigars, removed from the place of manufacture unstamped, in-
dicates a better observance of the law and regulations governing the
taxation of these articles.

The reduction of the tax assessed on legaciesand successions and on
income and dividends is owing to the increased lapse of time since the
repeal of the laws subjecting these objects to internal revenue taxation
and to the fact that those taxes have been almost entirely collected.

The most remarkable increase exhibited in the above table is that of
taxes assessed on the capital and deposits of banks, bankers, and savings
institutions. The amount thus assessed was $5,222,012.40 against
$3,955,183.20 of the year previous, showing an increase of $1,266,829.20.

As stated in my last annual report, it had become known that several
banks in the larger cities had, by misinterpretation of the law, understated
in former reports the amount of their capital and deposits subject to
tax. Investigations of these cases led to the discovery that such taxes,
amounting to $722,705, were due the United States.

Following up this discovery a circular letter whs addressed in October,
1881, to each collector, requiring him to request from all banks in his
district a re-examination of their former returns and to report as to their
liability to additional taxation.

This request having been generally complied with, and voluntary ad-
ditional returns made by the banks, assessments am ountiug to $460,676.79
were made last year on this account. This ainountj added to that pre-
viously ascertained, gives a sum of $1,183,381.79 so far assessed as tax
due from previous years. In addition thereto, an amount of $25,546.22
was recovered in compromise which was not assessed. The total tax so
far recoA^ered by the government is therefore $1,205,928.01.

Several cases have not yet been fully im^estigated and determined-
upon; it is therefore likely that some further and perhaps very heaA^y
assessments will result therefrom.

Deducting, however, the above $460,676,79 assessed as back taxes
from the total amount assessed on capital and deposits last fiscal year,
it still leaves the large amount of $4,761,335.61 assessed against the
banking business of last fiscal year, showing an increase over the pre-
vious one of $806,152.41. Explanation of this fact is found in- the enor-
mous growth of the wealth of the country; the total average capital and
deiiosits employed and held by banks and bankers other than national
banks last 3"ear being $1,955,190,686, an increase of $256,100,308 over
the previous year.

In explanation of the increase of tax assessed on deficiencies in the
production of distilled spirits and on excess of materials used in such
production, it may' be stated that most of these assessments cover the
unusually large production of distilled spirits in the year ended June 30,
1881. This also may be said in regard to tbe increased amount assessed
on distilled spirits fraudulently removed or seized. A great number of
distillers, who formerly carried on an illicit business, have recently

submitted to the law, have been regularly registered, and their short-
comings are now ascertained and assessed.

,Of the amount reported as assessments of penalties, the larger pro-
portion consisted of 100 per centum penalties assessed against banks
under a decision of the United States circuit court for the southern
district of New York (German Savings Bank Joseph Archbold, col-
lector), for erroneous returns made. This decision having been reversed
b}^ the United States Supreme Court, the larger park of these assess-
ments ha^e been or will be abated.

13(3 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

In tlie Appemlix will be found a table, sllowing the principal resources
and liabilities on October 3, 1882. of the banks in the States, Territories,
and reserve cities, arranged in eight divisions. .

NUMBER, CAPITAL, AND DEPOSITS OF NATIONAL BANKS, STATE AND
SAYINGS-BANKS, AND PRIVATE BANKERS.

Section 333 of the Revised Statutes of the United States requires the
Comptroller to present annually to Congress a statement of the condi-
tion ot the banks and savings-banks organized under State laws. Re-
turns of capital and deposits are made by these institutions and by
private bankers somi-annually, to this department for purposes of
taxation. From these returns the following table has been compiled,
exhibiting, in concise form, by geographical divisions, the total average
capital and deposits of all the State and savings-banks and private
bankers of the counriy, for the six months ending May 31, 1882:

. The capital of the 2,239 national banks in operation on July 1, 1882,
as will be seen by a table in the Appendix,' was $477, 184, 390, hot includ-
ing surplus, which fund at that date amounted to more than 131 mill
ions of dollars 5 while the average capital of all the State banks, private
bankers, and savings-banks, for the six months ending May 31, 1882,
was but $234,929,976. The latter amount is less than two-fifths of tlie
combined capital and surplus of the national banks.

The table below exhibits the capital and net deposits of the national

EXTENSION OF THE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF NATIONAL BANKS.

Section 11 of the national-bank, act of February 25, 1863, ])rovides
that —

Everj association formed pursuant to the proTisions of this act may make 'and use
a common seal, and shall hfive- succession by the name designated in the articles of
association, ahd for the period limited therein, not, however,. exceeding tweuty years'
from the passage of this act.

Ninety-eight national banks organized under this act were entitled,
under their organization papers, to continue for nineteen years only,
and the corporate existence of 307 other banks will expire on or before
the close of business on February 24, next.

The Gomptroller recommended in his last report: —

That an act be passed during the present session, auUiorizing any national bank,
with the approval of the Comptroller, at any time within two years prior to the date
of the expiration of its corporate existence, to . extend its period of succe.«:sion for
twenty years, by amending its articles of association. The bill may provide that
such amendments must he authorized by the votes of shareholders owning notless
. than two-thirds of. the capital of the association, the amendment to hecertilied to
the Corni>troller of the Currency, by the x:>resident or cashier, verified by the seal of
the association', and not to be valid until the Coinj) troll er’s approval thereof shall
have been obtained, and he shall have given to the association a certificate a thor-
izing it to oonfinne its business under such extension. Responsibility f(4r the exten-
sion of the corporate existence of the banks will thus, in a measure, rest with the
Comx^trollcr-; and he can require such an examination of their affairs to he made prior tn
granting the extension", as may seem to him proper, in order to ascertain if the capital
stock, is intact, and all the assets of the bank in a satisfactory cuuditioq. * * .

138 EEPORT ON THE FINANCES.'

If, for any reason, tlie legislation herein proposed shall not be favorably considered
by .Congress, the banks can still, under the present laws, renew their existence if they
so desire; and in the absence ot ))rohibitory legislation many of them undoubtedly
will, oh the expiration of their present charters, organize new associations, Avith nearly
the same stockholders as before, and Avill then apply for and obtain from the Comp-
troller certificates authorizing them to continue busiuess for twenty years from the
• respecthre dates of their new organization certificates. Such a course of procedure
will be perfectly legal, aud, indeed, under the existing laws, the Comptroller has no
discretionary po^er in the matter, but must necessarily sanction the organization, or
reorganization, ot such associations as shall . have coriformed in all respects, to the
legal requirements.

The passage, however, of a general act directly authorizing an extension of the cor-
porate existence of associavions whose charters are about to expire would, in many
instances, relieve the hanks from embarrassment. As the law now stands, if the
. shareholders of an association are all agreed, the process of reorganization is simple ;
but if any of the shareholders object to such reorganization, they are entitled to a com-
plete liquidation ot the bank’s affairs, and to a pro rata distribution of all its assets,
including its surplus fund. In many instances executors and administrators of estates
hold national-bank stock in- trust; and AA-hile they might prefer to retain their inter-
ests in the association which issued the stock, they would perhaps have no authority
to subscribe for stock in the new organizations. While, therefore, the legislation
asked for is not absolutel5'' essential, yet its passage at an early day would be a great
convenience to many, of the national banks, and especially so to the class last referred to.

Some doubts having been expressed in reference to the right of the
shareholders of national banl^s whose corporate existence had expired
' ’ to organize new associations with the same names as those which had

just ex[)ired, the opinion of the Attorney-General was requested on this
point, and on the 23d of February, 1882, an opinion was given, in which
he said :

The present national banking laws do not forbid the stockholders of an expiring
corporation from organizing a new banking association, nor from assuming the name
. of the old corporation, with the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, and, in
the absence of any prohibition to that effect, no legal obstacle to the formation of- a
new association by such stockholders, and the adoption of the name of the old asso-
ciation, Avould, in my opinion, exist.

He also said : '

I do not know of anything to prevent a national banking association, upon the ex-
piration of the period limited for its duration, from being converted into a State bauk
under the laws of the State, provided It has liquidated its affairs agreeably to the laws
of Congress; nor after it has thus become a State bank, to prevent such bank from
' being converted back into a national bunking association under section 5154 of the

Revised Statutes, and adopting tlie name of the expired corporation, with the ap-
proval of the Comptroller of the Cnrrenoy. To enable a Siate bank so to reconvert
itself into a national banking association, authority from the State is not necessary.*

In conformity with this opinion, fifty banks have been organized to
succeed other institutions whose corporate existence has expired aiid
' which had previously given notice of liquidation. These banks have
in most cases been organized vvith the same title as that of the banks
which had been placed in liquidation and by the same stockliolders.

Soon after the assembling of the present Congress a bill was intro-
duced for the extensioQ of the corporate existence of national banks,
embodying the recommendations of the Comptroller. It was subse-
quentlyreportedto the House from the committee with important amend-
ments, and, after continued discussion, passed on May 30, 1882, by a vote
of 125 to 67.t The bill was amended in the Senate in many particulars,
and passed that body on June 22, 1882, by a vote of 34 to 144
subsequeatly passed in the House July 10, upon the report of the con-

fcreuce cominittee, yeas 110, nays 79, not voting 101,* and received the
approval of the President on July 12, 1882.

The act provides for the extension of the corporate existence of all
national banks for twenty years by amending their articles of asso-
ciation, which amendment shall be authorized hj the consent in writ-
ing of shareholders owning not less than two-thirds of the capital
stock of 4:he association. It provides that the Comptroller, upon receipt
of the application of the bank arid the amendment certihed by the as-
sociation, shall cause a special examination to be made to determine its
condition, and authorizes him to grant his certificate for the proposed
extension, if the condition of the association is found to be satisfactory.
It provides that any shareholder not assenting to the amendment of the
articles of association may give notice in writing to the directors, within
thirty days of the date of the certificate of approval of the Comptroller,
that be desires to withdraw from said association, in which case he is
entitled in accordance with the method provided in the act to receive
from said association the .value of the shares; that in the organization
of any association intended to replace any existing banking association
and retaining the name thereof, holders of stock in the expiring asso-
ciation shall be entitled to preference in the allotment of the shares of
the liew bank in proportion to the number of shares held by them re-
spectively in the expiring association ; that the cii*ciilating notes of the
association extending its period of succession, which were issued to it
previous to stich extension, shall be retired by redemption at the Treas*
ury; that at the end of three years from the date of such extension
lawful money shall be deposited by the bank with the Treasurer for the
redemption of the circulation then outstanding; that any gain that
may arise from the' failure to present such circulating notes for redemp-
tion shall enure to the benefit of the United States; that new notes shall
be issued to the banks thus extending, bearing such devices as shall
make them readily distinguishable from those previously issued and that
notional banks whose corporate existence has expired or shall hereafter
expire, which do not avail themselves of the privilege of extension, shall
give notice of liquidation and deposit lawful money for the retirement
of their circulating notes as required by law. .It also provides for the
extension of the franchise of expiring associations for the sole purpose
of liquidation until their afiairs are finally closed. Thr other provis-
ions of the act in reference to national banks are general in their char-
acter and do not exclusively apply to banks whose corporate existence
is extended by its provisions.

Immediately upon the passage of this act appropriate blanks were
prepared for the use of those banks whose corporate existence was
about to expire, and new circulating notes were subsequently issued to
such institutions as conformed to the law. The note of the denomina-
tion of five dollars has for its vignette the portrait of the late President
Garfield. The faces of the notes of other denominations are similar to
those previously issued, but all the new notes have, as a distinctive
feature, the charter number engraved six different times in the border^
so that the name of the bank issuing the note may be ascertained from
fragments thereof. The charter number of each bank is also, printed
conspicuously in the center of the reverse Or back of each note. The
brown and green colors of the back of the new notes are said to be a
protection against the arts of the photographer and counterfeiter, and

are printed upon the new distinctive paper Avhich has given general
satisfaction.

Cinder the act of July 12, 1882, 30 banks have already extended their
corporate existence, and nearly all of the banks which were organized
under the act of February 25, 1863, have already given notihe of their
intention to take advantage of the act. The total number of banks
whose corporate existence either has expired, or would have expired if
no action had been taken by their stockholders, is 86, having a capital
of $18,877,50.0, and surplus of $6,994,854, and circulation of $12,840,010.
Of these 50 were placed in liquidation by their stockholders previous
to the date of the expiration of their corporate existence, and all but
two before the passage of the act of July 12, 1882. The stockholders
of 45 of these liquidating banks organized new associations with the
same name ; those of four organized new associations with different
name's, and those of one did not perfect any new organization. The
corporate existence of six of the 86 banks first mentioned expired^
without having been previously put into liquidation. The united stock-
holders of three of these banks perfected new organizations .with the
same name, and in the case of two others a portion of the stockholders
organized new associations with different names, while those of one took
no action. The stockholders of the remaining 30 of the 86 banks men-
tioned, which are all of the. banks whose corporate existence has ex-
pired since the passage of the act of July 12, 1882, have extended under
this act.

The number of national banks yet in operation at fhe date of this re-
port, organized under the act of February 25, 1863, is 307, and their cor-
porate existence will expire on the folloAying dates :

Section 8 of the act of June 3, 1864, provides that each association—

Shall have power to adopt a corporate seal, and shall have succession by the name
designated in its organization certiftcate, for the period of twenty years from its or-
ganization, unless sooner dissolved according to the provisions of its articles of asso-
ciation, or by the act of its shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock, or unless the
franchise shall be forfeited by a violation of this act;

Under the i^reviou^ act, banking associations were entitled to succes-
sion for twenty, years from the date of the passage of the law ; but under
the act of 1864, each association was entitled to an existence of twenty
years from the' da,te of its organization certificate. The Merchants’ Na-
tional Bank of Boston Avas^ the first association to organize under the
act of June 3, 1864, and its organization was followed by the conversion
of 28 other banks in the city of Boston and 22 in the city of Philadel-
phia during the same year, and by the conversion of 38 banks in the
city of NeAv York during the year 1865.

The })rovisious of the act of July 12, 1882, relating to the extension of
the corporate existence of national banking associations, have proved to
be well adapted to the purpose for which they were intended. They are
simple in form and appear to be readily understood by the banks.

* These banks were, however, revived tor purpose of liquidation by section 7 of the
act of Jaily 12, 1882.

One advantage in extending the corporate existence of associations
under this law, over the only method possible previous to its passage,
is in the, retention of the surplus fund.

Thus, in the case of the fifty -four banks which have been liquidated,
either under sections 5220 and 5221, or under section 7 of the act of
July 12, 1882, by their stockholders, in order to organize new associa-'
tions, the surplus was reduced from $5,540,067 to $2,559,252.

The aggregate surplus of the thirty banks extending their existence
under the act of July 12, 1882, has slightly increased.

three preceding annual reports are published, exhibiting the amounts of

which is four hundred and thirty-three millions in excess of the amount
held on January 1, 1879, and one hundred and eighty-six millions in
excess of the amount held two years ago — on hTovember 1, 1880. The
gain in gold coin since the resumption of specie payments has been two
hundred and eighty-eight millions, and in> gold and silver coin three
hundred and ninety -four millions. The increase in national bank notes
has been nearly thirty-nine millions. . d

No change has been made in the amount of legal-tender notes out-
standing. It remains at $346,681,016, which was the amount outstand-;
ing at the date of the passage of the act of May 31, 1878, which pro-
hibited any further reduction of the volume of these notes.

The act of January 14, 1875, required the Secretary of the Treasury
on and after January 1, 1879, to redeem in coin these notes, on their
presentation at the office of the Assistant Treasurer in the city of New
York, in sums of not less than fifty dollars. In order that he might always
be prepared to do this, he was authorized to use any surplus revenue
from time to time, in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to*
issue, sell, and dispose of, at not less than par, in coin,-^any of the five,
four and a half, and four per cent, bonds authorized by the act of July
14, 1870. This act is still in force, and gives the Secretary unlimited
power vdth which to provide for the redemption in coin of the legal-ten-
der notes. He is thus enabled, so long as the credit of the government
continues good, to check, by the sale of United States bonds, any ex-
portation of coin which might endanger the redemption of U nited States
legal-tender notes.

These notes were issued at a time when the expenditures of the
government were in excess of its revenue. Its receipts now so largely
exceed its expenditures that more than 148 millions of the public debt
was paid during the past year. The only reason that can be advanced
lor the increase of these issues, would be that they may be substituted
for other forms of public debt, and the only method by which they can
now be disbursed is in payment of United States bonds, at a time when
the bonds are being paid from the surplus revenue at a rate unprece-
dented in the history of nations. It is evident that whatever difference
of opinion may have heretofore existed upon the subject, so long as the
revenue shall continue to supply more money than is needed for ex-
penditures, there can be no sufficient reason for the authorization by Con-
gress of an increase of these notes.

> The act of July 12, 1882, has again inaugurated the policy of issuing
gold certificates. These substitutes for coin are hereafter to be issued
against deposits of coin in the Treasury, and, together with certificates
for silver deposited in like manner, are authorized to be included in the
reserves of the banks, and to be used as clearing house certificates in
the cities where clearing-houses are established. They will not increase
the amount of the currency in the country, but, by saving the cost of
transporting specie from one point to another, will render the stock of
specie more available for use by the banks and the people.

The Comptroller, in his report for 1881, in elaborate tables giving the
. receipts of banks upon two different days, showed that the proportion
of money required for the transaction of business throughout the whole .
‘ country was about five per cent, of the total receipts, the remaining
ninety-five per cent, being in checks and drafts. There has been dur-
ing the current year an increase of 171 in the number of national banks
in operation, and during the three preceding years the increase was 314.
During the curi:ent year 36 additional State banks and 353 private bank-
ers have commenced business. The rapid increase in these places of

deposit brings into use a larger number of the small checks of deposit-
ors, and largely diminishes the .use of the circulating medium. These
depositories, and the amount of capital employed in banking, notwith-
standing the excessive taxation imposed upon this business, nearly
keep pace with the advance in the population and wealth of the coun-
try ; but the increase in the receipts and payment of banks and bank-
ers, made by checks and drafts, shows the absurdity of the theory that
the money required for business purposes, should bear a fixed propor-
tion to the population or to the wealth of the country.

The same causes which have operated to bring about a rapid reduc-
tion of the public debt have also tended to increase the circulating me-
dium. The large imports of coin, in excess of exports, together with
the products of the mines, have filled the channels of circulation. The
circulation during the past year has undoubtedly been much larger than
at any period since the organization of the government. The per capita
of circulation is larger, and it is probable that its proportion to wealth
is greater than at any previous time.’ It is undoubtedly large enough
to sui^ply the legitimate demands of business; and it is protoble that
the addition to the coin of the country, since the resumption of specie
payments, has been in advance of such demands. There has been no
comifiaint of scarcity of money which cannot probably be traced to
those engaged in speculative business, and however great the aggre-
gate of the circulating medium may become, complaints of scarcity will
always be heard from those who desire a rise in prices.

No other nation economises the use of its circulating medium. as does
this,, and it is probable that but a slight annual increase in the amount
of national bank notes outstanding will hereafter be required, provided
that the exports of coin are not greatly in excess of imports, and the
receipts from our increasing revenue, in excess of the tequisite reserve,
are kept in circulation and not hoarded in the Treasury.

The interest-bearing bonded debt of the United States has been
rapidly reduced "since 1869, at which time the funding of the miscel-
laneous obligations of the government had been successfully accom-
Xdished. The reduction of this debt during the twelve years ending
June 30, 1881, has been more than six hundred and forty-eight millions
($648,403,668) and the amount of interest paid more than one thousand
two hundred and seventy millions ($1,270,596,784); the average annual
payment of the principal being $54,033^639, and of interest, $105,883,065.
The annual average reduction in the interest-bearing debt during the
last three years, ending November 1, has been $126,295,816. The re-
duction during the past year was $148,648,550.

The successful refunding of the five and six per cents as they matured,
at first into four and four and one-half per cents, and subsequently into
three and one-half per cents, and during the last year into three per
cents, together with the rapid reduction of the debt, has had the effect
of renewing the discussion as to the permanency of the national banking
system, and its'ability under existing laws to supply the additional cir-
culation which may be hereafter annually required. The banks hold 40
million’s of three and one-half x>er cents, and nearly 180 millions of three
per cents aS security for their circulation. If the debt should hereafter
continue to be reduced at the same rate as during the last year, all of
these bonds will be called for payment in less than three years, and it
will be necessary for the banks holding such called bonds, either to de-
posit lawful money for the purpose of retiring two hundred millions of
their circulation, or to purchase four or four and one-half per cents, or

Pacific Bail way six per cents, wliich are now at a high premiiira in the
market '

,Many plans have beem suggested for the purpose of supplying the
deficiency in bank circulation, which it is probable will arise as these
bonds are paid.

The systems of banking in operation previous to the establishment
of the national banking system, and particularly those known as the

charter and safety-fund” systems, have been brought forward for
discussion, and opinions have been expressed that under the general
restrictions of the national banking system, or with increased liraita-
tioDS, it would be advisable for Congress to authorize the issue of cii’cu-
lating notes based upon the capital,. the assets, and the individual lia-
bility of stockholders, withoiit requiring, as heretofore, the actual deposit
of securities in the Treasury for such issues. It has been suggested if
the circulation issued be considerably less than the actual capital paid
up, and if the bill holder be entitled to a first lien upon all the assets of
the bank, and to the amount which maybe collected upon the individual
liability of the shareholder, that the people would be abundantly secure
from any loss upon the circulation ^o issued by the banks. As supple-
. mentary to this proposition, it has also been suggested that the banks
be required to hold not less than the minimum amount of bonds now
provided by law, which is estimated not to exceed 100 millions of dol-
lars, and that in addition they be required to deposit ten per cent, upon
their capital in coin with the Treasurer as a safety fund, and that they
shall continue to receive each other’s notes in payment of obligations
due them.

It is not probable that the stockholders of those banks which do
• not desire to issue circulation, would be willing to continue business
upon the condition that they should contribute so large an amount to a
fund intended to insure the public against the issues of , fraudulent or
badlymianaged institutions. It is suggested, however, that the propo-
sition would be improved if banks desiring to issue circulation be re-
quired to contribute to such a fund a percentage upon the circulation
issued, instead of a percentage upon capital. If this fund, amounting
to, say, 30 millions, be held in United States three per cent, bonds instead
of coin, and the losses from the circulation of insolvent banks be small,
the interest, in the course of a few years, if retained as proposed, would
amount to a considerable sum. The large fund oh deposit in the Treas*

, ury for the purpose of redeeming the notes of national banks retiring cir-
culation now amounts to more than 38 inillions. If it should be thought
expedient to invest a considerable portion of this fund in three per cents^
thus releasing it from the Treasury, the income might also be added to the
safety fund. The gain resulting from the failure on the part of the pub-
lic, to present for redemption national bank notes which are being:retired
by an act of the present Congress, accrues to the benefit of the govern-
ment, and it is estimated will amount to not less than from three to five
millions during each, twenty years. This gain might also properly be
included in the proposed safety fund, and in the course of a few years
these funds, by reinvestment, would increase to so large an amount,
that the securities required W be deposited by the banks could be
largely diminished.

The foregoing propositions have no precedents in any form of general
legislation heretofore known in this country. Circulation authorized
upon similar plans has heretofore been issued to banks which have been
specially chartered, and not to banks organized under a general law.

Nearly every State in the Union has had its experience in authoriziug

the issue of bank notes, based exclusively upon the capital and assets
of the banks issuing the same; and many States have required the ac-
cumulation of a safety fund for the protection of the public from un-
secured and uncurreut bank notes. In most cases circulation was
authorized to be issued b}^ such banks equal to the capita.1; sometimes
the amount issued was less; sometimes it largely exceeded the capital.

The Suffolk system in the New England States, which was perhaps
as good a system as could be desired to protect a bank circulation not
secured by bonds, by a prompt and vigorous redemption of the notes,
kept them in a healthy state, but the annual losses upon bank circula-
tion, even in the New England States, up to the time of the organiza-
tion of the national banking system, were by no means inconsiderable.
Notwithstanding the restrictions then existing, banks of circulation were
organized with but little capital paid in, and notes, either worthless or
irredeemable, were placed in circulation atpoints remote from the places
of issue. In New York under the safety fund system, and x^revious
thereto, losses to the bill holders frequently occurred, and in other States,
almost without exception, such losses were large, and have usually been
estimated to have been, in the aggre^'ate, not less than five per cent,
annually of the whole amount outstanding. It is true that there are
in England, Ireland, and Scotland 119 private and joint-stock banks,
with many branches, which are authorized, to issue circulation based
upon "their capital, but their authorized circulation is only about 100
millions of dollars. Thirty- five banks, with numerous branches in the
Dominion of Canada, are also authorized to issue circulation in a similar
manner, but the total circulation of these banks does not exceed 35
inillions. Most of these are banks which have been in existence for
many years, and were organized under specia;! charters, and the liability
of the shareholders in many cases, particularly in Great Britain, is
unlimited.

No State or nation has ever authorized the organization of banks
under a general banking law, with the right to issue circulating notes
proportionate to cax^ital, except under a restriction requiring the de-
X>osit with the government of securities as the basis for the issue of such
notes. Banks in this and in other countries, which have been authorized
to issue circulating notes without security, have been those organized
' under special charters, and in granting such charters the means and
character of the applicants and proposed stockholders are subject to
investigation by committees and legislators. Propositions for the issue
of circulation without the fullest security cannot be too carefully con-
sidered. The security of the national- bank note under the present sys-
tem is i:>erfect. In twenty years not a single bank note has failed to
be redeemed at its face value. Banks organized under a general law,
located so often at great distances from commercial centers, render a
security for circulation of uniform and positive value an absolute ne-
cessity. It is evident that the authorizing of more than three thousand
banks, under a general or free banking law, to issue circulation without
security, located in a country having such extensive territory as our
own, would result disastrously.

Under the present banking system it is difficult in all cases to pre-
vent the organization of banks with deficient capital, but if such banks
are organized, at least no injury can happen from the issue of their cir-
culating notes. The failure to pay the capital is almost certain soon
to be ascertained, when such associations can be summarily closed, or
required to make good the deficiency. If under the proposed system,
banks should be organized with deficient capital and receive circul:/i'

tion, an irreparable injury would be accomplisliecl before the worth-
less character of the assets could be ascertained. It would be practi-
cally impossible for any government officer to prevent unprincipled
men from organizing and controlling such associations for the purpose
of benefiting themselves at the expense of the holders of their circu-
lating notes.

There are in this country more than a thousand State banks and trust
companies, and nearly thirty-four hundred private bankers. The temp-
tation would be strong, on the part of these corporations and individ-
uals, to organize banks of circulation, if circulation could be obtained
•without depositing bonds as security therefor. The value of the different
notes issued would depend upon the management of the bank and char-
acter and standing of the different stockholders. Many notes would be
at a discount in exchange for coin, and the failure of one bank to pay
its notes, would throw discredit upon the whole volume of bank circula-
tion and the system under which such banks were organized. If the
issue of circulation were confined to a few banks, organized by men of
character, integrity, and means, such associations would be character-
ized as a monopoly. Even if corporations are organized upon the con-
dition that all should contribute a percentage of the circulation to a
safety fund for the protection of the aggregate circulation, there is
danger that the issues of fraudulent or badly-managed banks %ould
soon: consume the safety fund, and it is evident that the circulation
would be paid, if at all, at the expense of the depositor, who would be,
in some cases, stripped of the dividends which under existing laws are
distributed to unfortunate creditors.

Under the national banking system, it is provided that the circula-
tion issued shall first be paid from the proceeds of the bonds deposited
to secure the same. The proceeds of the remaining assets are distrib-,
uted pro rata among the creditors. Eighty-seven national banks, in all
having an aggregate capital of $19,262,600, have failed during the last
twenty years, and since the organization of the system. The amount
of circulation to which these banks were entitled under existing laws,
namely, ninety per cent, upon capital, is $17,336,340, which is a less
amount in the aggregate than the amount of dividends which will have
been paid to the creditors of these insolvent institutions. Forty-four
of these banks, having a capital of $10,094,000, would each have paid
in full their,circiilation, if ninety per cent, had been issued upon their
capital, from the proceeds of their assets, and would also have paid
small dividends to their depositors. The remaining forty-three insol-
vent banks, having a capital of $9,168,600, would in the aggregate
have paid, it is estimated, seventy -five per cent, only, from the avails of
their assets upon the circulation authorized; entailing a loss upon the
bill-holders of over $2,000,000, and leaving no assets whatever for the
benefit of the depositors, whose claims are $9,043,605, and upon which
dividends will be paid averaging, it is estimated, sixty-eight per cent.
While these forty- three banks would in the aggregate have paid seventy-
five per cent, to the bill-holders, about one-half of this number would
have paid on the average from the avails of their assets not exceeding
fifty per cent, of the amount of their circulating notes.

The losses which the holders of the notes of insolvent banks would
have experienced under the national banking system, if securities had
not been required to have been deposited, would have been small in com-
parison with the whole circulation. But the fact that such losses would
have occurred in so many banks, and that, too, at the expense of the de-
positors under a system with so many safeguards and restrictions, is

it the public debt is to be paid hereafter as rapidly as during the past
three years, all of the interest-bearing bonds will soon be surrendered
and canceled, and there is danger that the bank circulation will be so rap-
idly retired as to cause a contraction of the currency which will affect the
price of commodities and create embarrassments in business ; but there
is now no such pressing necessity for a speedy payment of the public
debt as there is for the reduction of the redundant revenue. It is be-
lieved that Congress will soon provide for so large a reduction of the
revenue that a sufficient amount of bonds will remain for the security of
the bank circulation.

The national banks held, on November 1, bonds lor circulation, not
payable at the pleasure of the governmeiit, as follows :

Four and oue-kalf per cent, bonds |33, 754, 650

Pacific Railway sixes 3, 526, Ooo

Four per cent, bonds 104, 917, 500*

Total 142,198,150

None of these bonds will be payable until nine years hence, in the<
year 1891. The total amount of bonds outstanding, held by the banks
and by the people, which are available for circulation, and not payable
at the pleasure of the government, and cannot be redeemed except by

purchase in the market, is as follows :

Four per cents., payable July 1, 1907 $738,929,600

Four and one-balf per cents:, payable September 1, 1891 250, 000, 000

Pacific Railway sixes, payable September 1, 1895 $3, 002, 000

Pacific Railway sixes, payable September 1, 1897 9, 712, 000

Pacific Railway sixes, payable September 1, 1898 29, 383, 000

Pacific Railway sixes, payable September 1, 1899 *14,526,512

64,623,512

1,053,553,112

These bonds, including the Pacific sixes, amount to nearly 1,054
millions, and are abundantly sufficient as a basis for banking during
the next twenty years. In fact, one-fourth of this debt, exclusive of the
142 millions held by the banks, is sufficient to supply a basis for the bank
notes now outstanding. The law provides that any bank may reduce
the amount of its bonds held as security for circulation, to an amount
not less than $50,000, and, by an act of the present Congress, banks
having a capital of $150,000 or less can reduce their bonds to a mini-
mum of one-fourth of their capital. The aggi'egate amount of bank cir-
culation outstanding has not been reduced for a series of years, as may
be seen from the following table, which gives the total amount of the
national bank circulation outstanding on the 1st of June and 1st of No-

REPOKT ON THE FINANCES.

The above table exhibits the total circulation actually outstanding,
which includes the notes of the insolvent banks, of those in voluntary
liquidati(hi, and of those which have deposited lawful money for the pur-
pose of reducing their circulation.

The circulation of the banks in operation during the present year
has, however, by the payment of the bonds held as security and the
voluntary retirement of bank notes, been reduced from $320,200,069 to
$314,721,215, as will be seen from the table below, which gives, by geo-
graphical divisions, the amount of notes outstanding of the banks in
operation in the month of October yearly since 1877.

The reduction from January 1 to July 1 of the present year was still
greater, and amounted to more than 16 millions, but the amount has
again increased, as is usual in the fall season of the year. Banks, during
the year, have been frequently called upon to surrender their bonds to
the Secretary for payment. In such cases the three and the three and
one-half per cents have usually been substituted or the circulation sur-
rendered. The amount of four and four and one-half per cents held as
security for bank notes have, however, during the year increased more
than 14 millons.

The banks hold, as has been seen, 220 millions of dollars of Fnited
States bonds which are subject to the call of the government, and these
bonds can be replaced only by other bonds bearing a high premium,
and payable after a fixed date. If these latter bonds are not substituted
for the former, the circulation of the banks will be reduced about 200
millions.

The profit upon circulation upon the four and four and a half per cent,
bonds, where the rate of interest is six per cent., is not much in excess
of three-fifths of one per cent., and where the rates of interest are above
eight per cent, the profits are nominal, and are not sufficient to induce
the banks to purchase large amounts as security for circulation. Where
the profits are so small there is a serious objection to the investment of

SO large an amount of capital in premium, which, in the case of four per
cent, bonds, amounts to one-fifth of the face value of the bonds.

If the whole public debt were reduced to a uniform rate of three per
cent., the present high premium upon bonds would almost entirely dis-
appear, and the volume of circulation would respond more readily to
the demands of business, The temptation to sell such bonds for the
purpose of realizing the premium would no longer remain. A prop-
osition for refunding all the bonds, not payable at the pleasure of the
government, into three per cents, was suggested during the last ses-
sion of Congress. The proposition is that inducements be offered to the
holders of the four and four and one-half per cent, bonds to surrender
them to the government, receiving in payment therefor three per cent,
bonds having the same dates of maturity as the bonds Avhich are to be
surrendered. The new three per cent, bonds issued would themselves
bear a small premium, and it is believed that the holders of four per
cents, would consent to such an exchange if accompanied by an offer
of not more than fifteen per cent, premium. The amount of the pre-
mium upon this class of bonds, saj^ 700 millions, now outstanding at
fifteen per cent, would be 105 millions of dollars, and this premium
could be paid, as the bonds are surrendered for exchange, from the
surplus revenue of the government,, thus ip eifect reducing the debt of
the government 105 millions by a prepayment of interest Avhich must
be paid at a greater rate each year until their, maturity., .

The benefits of this plan both to the holder , and to the/go vernmeut
are apparent. The holders would , receive, in the shape of ^ fifteen per
cent, premium upon the bonds, a portion of their interest in advance,
which would be available for loans at rates ; greatly exceeding the bor-
rowing power of the government, which is. no w less than, three per cent.
The government would be enabled by this use of its surplus to save a
portion of the interest which otherwise it would be compelled to pay
hereafter.

The market price of the four per cent, twenty-five-year bonds is now
119.20, which indicates a market estimate of a borrowing rate of interest
of 2.92 per cent, per annum to the gOA^ernment. At this rate the
present A^alue of one per cent, of interest upon each $100 bond annually
for twenty-five years, relinquished by the holder, is $17.70. If the holder
accepts fifteen dollars as an equwalent for these twenty-fiA^e annual
payments, instead of $17.70 — a reduction of $2.70 from the. market
estimate of the value — the government Avill practically purchase from
the holder of the bond at a four and one-half per cent, rate of interest
instead of at 2.92 per cent. In . other words, the present Amine of the
twenty -fi Am one dollar annual payments relinquished by the holder, when
computed at the rate of 2.92 per cent, per annum, is Avorth $17.70; but
computed at the rate of four and one-half per cent, is AVorth only $15, a
premium which, it is belicA^ed, the holders would be willing to accept;
and if the government be able to invest its surplus revenue at a. rate so
favorable to itself as four and one-half per. cent., there Avould seem to be
good reason for Congress to provide the necessary legislation for author-
izing an arrangement which can also be shown to be of advantage to the
holders of the four per cent, bonds.

One alternatiAm would be to reduce the tax upon circulation to one-
half of one per cent, per annum, and another to amend section 12 of the
act of July 12, 1882, so as to authorize the banks, to receive circulation
at the rate of ninety per cent, upon the average current market value of
the bonds for . the six months previous. If the bonds shall decline in
the market, additional bonds may be required to be deposited, or the

interest may be retained by the Treasurer upon notice from the CoQip-
troller to make up the deficiency. Such an amendment has frequently
been suggested, and, in fact, the original national bank act authorized
the issue of circulating notes to the amount of 90 per centum of the
current market value of United States six per cent, bonds deposited,
provided that such 90 per centum was not in excess of the amount of
the bonds at their par value, or in excess of the paid-in capital stock.
That law also provided for the deposit of additional bonds or money upon
their depreciation, or the suspension of payment of interest upon the
bonds held, so long as the depreciation should continue.

It is submitted that the issue of circulation upon four and four and
a half per cents at ninety per cent, ux^on their current market value,
under a restriction similar to that last mentioned, is equally safe with
the issue of ninety per cent, ui^on the three per cents now outstanding
at liar; or that a reduction of the tax uiiou circulation to one-half of
one per cent., or to an amount sufficient to reimburse the Treasury for
the whole expense of the issue of bank circulation and all expenses in-
cident thereto, is not unreasonable in view of the fact of the large re-
duction upon the income derived from United States bonds, amounting
to more than two iier cent, since this tax was imposed.

Either of these plans is feasible and would prevent a sudden contrac-
tion of the currency, by bringing into possession of the banks a sufficient
amount of bonds to supply the circulation which is needed, and is cer-
tainly greatly to be iireferred to the iiropositions for a large increase in
legal-tender notes — if such issues were practicable — or to the issue of
bank circulation without a deposit of bond security under restrictions
however stringent.

If, however, it shall be the iiolicy of the government to accumulate
the revenue instead of largely reducing it, thus rendering it necessary,
to continue the rapid reduction of the debt even if it is to be purchased
at the iirice fixed byT:he holders, it is of the greatest iinxiortance that
the basis uiion which the bank currency is issued should be enlarged so
as to include some other form of security besides government credit.

The national banking system has been in operation nearly twenty
years, and may be said to have not yet attained its majority. It is part
of the machinery of the government. Its advantages have been well
tested in good and in evil times, and during the searching and acrimo-
nious discussions of the last ten years, the final result of which has been
the legislation of the present Congress authorizing the extension of the
period of succession of each one of these institutions for twenty years
from the date of the exx^iration of its corporate existence. The Comx)-
troller, while he believes it is for the best interests of the government
to continue the national banking system, subject to such improvements
as shall hereafter be authorized by Congress, is after all of opinion that
it would be better that the circulation should diminish in volume, than
that the issue should be increased at the risk of placing in the hands
of the poorer classes uncurrent and irredeemable circulation, or of giv-
ing to associations organized by unscrupulous men an opportunity to
use an excellent system of banking for bad purposes.

The national banking system was established with a view to up-
aoot other and evil systems, and nothing but the heroic legislation
of taxing bad issues of circulation out of existence, which was x>assed
in the interests of the government during a great war, could have ac-
complished this purpose. By increasing the rate of issue ux>ou the
bonds xdedged by the banks as security for their circulation, or by
reducing the tax upon bank notes, or by a proper refunding of the debt,

and reducing the revenue derived in many instances from unjust and
burdensome taxation, the system may continue for twenty-five yeax’S,
or until the maturity of the four per cents ; but it is far better that the
right to issue notes should be gradually discontinued than that so good
a system should be used to bring again upon the country the very evils
which were experienced at the time of its organization, twenty years ago.

DISTRIBUTION OF COIN AND PAPER CURRENCYL

In the reports of the Comptroller for the three years preceding 18<S2,
tables have been given showing the amount of coin and currency, and
its distribution in the Treasury, in the banks, and in the hands of the
people on January 1, 1879, the date of the i^esumption of specie pay-
ments, and on ifovember 1' of that and each succeeding year. These
tables are again presented, the amounts on November 1, 1882, having
been added.

From November 1, 1881, to November 1, 1882, the production of gold
by the mines of the United States is estimated at $43,359,021, and the
amount of gold exported from the country, in excess of the amount im-
ported, has been $36,122,536. The difference, $7,236,485, is the increase
during the year. The Director of the Mint estimates that $2,700,000 of
this amount has been used in the arts, leaving $4,536,485 as the increase
in the stock of gold remaining in the country and available for circula-
tion. The total excess of imports of gold, over exjiorts, from the date
of resumption to November 1, 1882, has been $161,311,578, and the total
gold product of the mines of the United States for the same period is
■estimated to have been $147,509,021. This is the first year since 1879
during which the exportation of gold has exceeded the importation.
During the last two months (September and October, 1882) the imports
have, however, slightly exceeded the exports.

The amount of standard silver dollars coined during the year has been
$27,657,175, and the total amount coined up to November 1, 1882, since
the passage of the law of February 28, 1878, authorizing their coinage,
has been $128,329,880.

The following table shows the amount of coin and currency in the
<30untry on January 1, 1879, and on November 1 of thej^ears 1879, 1880,
1881,. and 1882:

There has been no change in the aggregate of legal- tender notes out-
standing, which remains as fixed by the act of May 31, 1878. National-
bank notes have increased $2,383,497 during the year ; the amounts of
gold and silver coin have increased $4,536,485 and $26,280,970, respec-
tively, making a total increase in coin and currency of $33,206,952.

form a portion of the silver coin in the Treasuiy. The silver certificates
in the hands of the people "and the banks, at dates corresponding with
those given in the preceding tables, were as follows:

January i, 1879 $413, 360

November 1, 1879 1, 604, 370

November 1, 1880 19, 780, 240

November 1, 1881 58, 838. 770

November 1. 1882 65, 620', 450

It will be seen that the amount of these certificates in. circulation has
increased only $6,781,680 during the past year, and if this whole increase
were held outside of the banks, it would not offset the decrease of
$18,617,671 in other forms of paper currency in the hands of the people,
for; which coin has been substituted.

As before stated, the total amount of standard silver dollars coined
up to ISTovember 1, 1882, was $128,329,880, of which, as shown in
one of the foregoing tables, $92,414,977 was then in the Treasury, al-
though an amount equal to $65,620,450 was represented by certificates
in the hands of the people and the banks, leaving $26,794,527 belonging
to the Treasury. Of the $128,329,880 coined, $35,914,903 was therefore
circulating outside of the Treasury in the form of coin, and $65,620,450 in
the form of certificates.. The remainder of the silver, $83,994,455, con-
sisted of subsidiary coin, trade .dollars, and bullion, of which $30,761,935
was in the Treasury, and $53,232,520 was in use in place of the. paper
fractional currency for which it was. substituted,, as against. $55,955,398
similarly . employed on Novepiber 1^ 1881., The: increase of .gold and sil-
ver coin and paper currency, outside of the Treasury, since the date of
resumption is thus estimated to have been $289,964,414, and the. increase
during the year ending November 1, $18,336,612; or, if the amount of
silver certificates in circulation be added, the total increase since re-
sumption would be $355,172,504, and during the past year, $25,118,292.

ILLEG-AL CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS.

The practice of certifying checks had been in use for more than thirty
years, previous to the organization of the national banking system, and
at least twenty years previous to the establishment of the clearing house.

In the beginning, this certification was not considered as legally bind-
ing the bank to pay the check. For many years it had little significa-
tion other than as giving clerical information, and the amount of the
check, when certified, was not charged lo the account of the drawer
until it was afterwards presented for payment. Subsequently, after the
year 1854, when the clearing house was organized, it became the custom
to present checks, and also bills receivable or acceptances on the day of
. maturity at the bank where they were made payable for certification.
The bills and checks which were certified, were then returned to the
bank messenger who had presented them, and on the following morning
were transmitted to the clearing house with other exchanges.

The certification consisted of the signature.of the paying teller, written
across the face of the paper inside of a stamp bearing the date of the
certification and the title of the bank. This form of certification was
regarded as a legal obligation of the bank, and the amount of the check
was charged to the account of the drawer at the date of the' certification.
If the maker or acceptor of notes or bills was in good standing at. the
bank s^t which it was made payable, such bills were not unfreqiiently
certified, even if the fiiU amount Avas not to the credit of the account to

REPORT ON THE FINANCES

which it was subsequently charged. Bills or checks are usually pre-
sented for certification during the first business hours of the day, and
the deposits of merchants and brokers are not usually made until the
later hours of the day. The officers of the bank, who know the usual
habits of their dealers in making their deposits, as well as their respon-
sibility, do not hesitate to assume the payment of checks or drafts
which they feel assured will be provided for before the exchanges of
the clearing house are received. If these certifications were confined to
mercantile and commercial transactions, little objection would have
been raised to the practice, and it is not probable that there would have
been any legislation prohibiting it. It would certaiulj^ seem to be ad-
visable to leave to the discretion of a bank the right to accept bills
drawn by correspondents at a distance, or by merchants at home, whose
standing is beyond question, and whose deficiency in the account is
kuowm to arise from delay in receiving remittances or making deposits.
A refusal to cei*tify or pay under such circumstances would be likely to
subject the bank to the loss of the accounts of its most valuable dealers.

Such legitimate certifications in mercantile or commercial transactions
are for comparatively small amounts, and would not attract attention
as a large item in the abstracts of the condition of the banks in the city
of New York, to which this practice is chiefly confined.

The large use of these instruments by which the banks in eflect
guarantee the contracts of stock -brokers with their customers has
grown to be a great abuse during the past few years, and cannot be de-
fended upon any correct principle^of banking. This business is chiefly
done by nine or ten national banks, although other banks, organized
under State laws as w^ell as national, certify similar checks for consid-
erable amounts.

Section 5208 of the Eevised Statutes makes it —

Unlawful for any officer, clerk or agent of any national banking association to cer-
tify any check drawn upon the association, unless the person or company draw-
ing the check has on deposit with the association, at the time such 'check is certified,
an amount of money equal to the amount specified in such check.

There are many methods of evading this law. If certification is
required in excess of the amount on deposit a demand note is made,
aud the amount thereof is entered to the credit of the broker desiring
the accommodation; or his check upon another bank is received with-
out certification, and a temporary credit entered upon his account, and
these temporaiy credits are canceled at the close of business when the
account has been made good. Brokers asking for such over-certifica-
tions keep large balances to their credit, on which the bank pays no
interest. Certification is made without charge, the bank receiving its
compensation in the large deposits which stand to the credit of the
broker. The banks justify the practice upon the ground that it is of
great convenience to the community, and that stock transactions, par-
ticularly, could not be carried on without some such arrangement. They
insist that for many years only trifling losses have arisen from the
practice — very much less than the losses incurred by them in ordinary
discounts.

Section 13 of the act of July 12, 1882, i^rovides :

That any officer, clerk, or agent of any national-baukiug association avIio shall
willfully violate the provisions of an act entitled “An act in reference to certifying
checks by national banks, approved March third, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine,
being section fifty-two hundred and eight of the Revised Statutes of the United States,
or who shall resort to any device, or receive any fictitious obligation, direct or collat-
eral, in order to evade the proAfisions thereof, or who shall certify checks before the

amount tliereof shall have been regularly entered to the credit of the dealer upon the
books of the banking association, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall,
on conviction thereof in any circuit or district court of the United States, be fined not
more than five thousand dollars, or shall be imprisoned not more than five years, of
both, in the discretion of the court.

Previous to the passage of this act those natioua,! banks which are
accustomed to make large advances to brokers for stock transactions
certified checks for large amounts under evasions of the law, or such
arraugements or agreements as were deemed by them not to be in con-
flict with section 5208 of the Revised Statutes. The latter act seems to
have been passed for the purpose of preventing the evasions of the pre-
vious law to which reference has been made. The language of the
section is : Or who shall resort to any device or receive any fictitious

obligation, direct or collateral, in order to evade the provisions thereof.”

Since the passage of this act the banks have accepte<i checks which
have been drawn upon them instead of certifying them, and have as-
sumed that such acceptance is not in violation of law. In some cases
these acceptances are made payable through the clearing house, the
effect of which form of acceptance is that such checks are payable upon
the following day; in other cases the acceptance is made without any
condition as to the mode of its payment. The banks claim that thej"
have power to accept checks under the third and seventh paragraphs of
section 5136 of the Revised Statutes. The former authorizes national
banks to make contracts,” and the latter provides for the “exercise of
all such incidental powers as shall be necessary to carry on the business
of banking.” It is also claimed that section 5209 of the Revised Stat-
utes, which provides that it shall be a misdemeanor for an officer of a
bank to make acceptances without proper authority, by implication au-
thorizes acceptances to be made with the authority of the directors, and
that the act of July 12, 1882, does not, in plain terms, prohibit such ac-
ceptance. The Comptroller being in doubt in reference to the proper
construction of the section, prepared a letter containing the following
questions, which, at his request, was submitted by the Secretary to the
Attorney-General for his opinion :

Has a national bank the legal right to accei>t checks drawn upon it, unless the
drawer has the amount stated in the check actually on deposit in the bank?

If a national bank has the power to make such an acceptance, would such accept-
ance at a time when the money was not on deposit to the credit of the drawer be a
liability to it for money borrowed, and as such be required to be limited to one-tenth
of the paid-in capital ot* the bank, as i>rovided by section 5200 United States Revised
Statutes?

If a national bank has tlie power to accept such checks equal in amount in anyone
case to one-tenth of its capital, would the acceptance of any number of checks to an
amount exceeding, in the aggregate, the amount of its paid-in capital be in violation
of section 5202 United States Revised Statutes?

The violation of section 5208, Revised Statutes, subjected a national
bank to the appointment of a receiver. The law was not mandatory, and
the appointment was left to the judgment and discretion of the Comp-
troller. The proper groundfor theappointmentof areceiverisinsolvency,
and it may be questioned whether the responsibility for taking a bank
from the control of its owners should be exercised in other cases than
insolvency until the question of violation of law shall have been brought
before the courts for determination. No appointments of receivers have
ever been made since the organization of the national banking system,
except in cases of insolvency, altnough two large banks which had
]n*eviously been found to be insolvent, were placed in charge of a re-
ceiver for illegal certification of checks.

156 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The passage of the act of March 3, 1869 (sectiou 5208, Eevised Stat-
utes), and the examinations which followed, had the effect to check and
diminish the practice of certificatiou. The practice has, however,
greatly increased during the last three years, and the returns of the
banks for October 3, the date of their last statement, discloses the fact
that the amount of certificates or acceptances made on that day was
nearly one-third greater than for a corresponding date in the year pre-
vious ; and that the amount of acceptances for stock brokers of nine
national banks on that day was more than nine times the aggregate cap-
ital stock of those banks, as may be seen from the following table, which
exhibits the amount of capital and certified checks or acceptances out-
standing of all the national banks of New York City for corresponding
, dates from 1875 to 1882 inclusive, and like information in reference to
nine national banks for the same dates.

The penalty for the violation of sectiou 13 of the act of July 12,
1882, is a fine of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more
than five years, or both, upon conviction thereof in any circuit or district
court of the United States ; and the penalty for the violation of other
laws relating to the national banks where the penalty is not specified
is the forfeiture of the rights, privileges, and franchises of an association,
to be determined and adjudged by a proper circuit, district, or Terri-
torial court of the United States.

The Attorney* General, in answer to the questions submitted to him,
has returned an opinion, in which he says:

These provisions together [section 5208 Revised Statutes, and sectiou 13 of the act
of July 12, 1882] prohibit the certification of a check drawn upon a national bank,
where, at the time of certification, the drawer has not on deposit with the bank, aud
regularly entered to his credit on its books, an amount of money equal to the amount
of the check.

rWhat, then, is certification of a check? It is an act on the part of the bank upou
which the check is drawn, implying (as is observed by the Supreme Court in the case of
Moi'cliants^ Bank v. State Banh^ 10 Wall., 604). ‘‘That the check is drawn upon sufficient
funds in the hands of the draweej that they have been set aj^art for its satisfaction,
and that they shall be so applied whenever the check is presented for payment. It is
an under taking that the check is good then and shall continue good, and this agree-
ment is as binding on the bank as its notes of circulation, a certificate of deposit pay-
able to the order of the depositor, or any other obligation it can as.su me.^^

No particular form is required for the certification. Ordinarily this is done by
simply writing the word ‘‘good^^ upon the face of the check, adding thereto the sig-
nature or initials of the certifying officer. But any language employed by such officer,
importing that the check is gopd and will be paid, would seem to be sufficient. (See
2 Daniel on Neg. Inst., Sec. iWc.)

A check being an order for the payment of money addressed to a bank or banker, '
it is always presumed to be drawn against funds on deposit therewith. It is not,
when considered with reference to its purpose^ presentable for acceptance, but only for
payment — that is to say, payment is the only acceptance which in contemplation of
law enters into the engagement of the parties. Hence, if the payee or holder of the
eheck presents it with the view of having it certified, instead of paid, he does so at
the peril of discharging the drawer. (First Nat, Bank r. Leach, 52 N. Y., 353.)

In Security Bank v. National Bank, (67 N. Y., 462), the court says: ^‘The manifest
•object of a certification is to indicate the assent of the certifying hank to the request
of the draivei' of the check that the drawee' xoillxmy to the holder the sum mentioned; and
this is w^hat an acceptor does by his acceptance of a biJl.^^ Whether such assent is
indicated by writing the w'ord ^^good^^ or the word accepted^’ upon the check can
make no di&rence as between the holder of the check and the bank, the obligation
assumed by the latter is precisely the same in either case ; and thus the legal ^ect of
marking a check “accepted” being the same as marking it “good,” the employment
of the former expression may, equally with that of the other, well be deemed to im-
port a certification thereof. Agreeably to this view, the acceptance of a check, other
than for immediate payment, is not. legally distinguishable from its certification. In
fact and effect the words are equivalents; they are for the same forbidden purpose to
'produce the same forbidden results.

The aim of the statute, in prohibiting the certification of checks by national banks
where the amount thereof is not On deposit to the credit of the drawer, is obviously
to provide a guard against the risks and evils attending such pledging of their credit
without adequate security. The mischief sought to be avoided is the incurring of
liaMlities hy these banks on checks drawn upon them without sufficient funds; and
inasmuch as the liability is the same wdiether the check be marked by the bank
^ accepted ” or simply “good,” either of these modes of incurring it would seem to be
sufficient to bring the case wdthin the prohibition referred to. Each may properly be
regarded as constituting a certification^ according, to the meaning and intent of the
statute. To construe otherwise would be to allow a “device” to “evade the pro-
vision” of the lavr, and such, too, as by express terms is prohibited and punished.

In answer to the first question I accordingly reply that in my opinion a national
bank cannot legally accejyt checks drawn upon it, vrhere the drawer has not on deposit
therewith the amount stated in the check.

To do so renders the bank subject to certain i^roceedings on the part of the Comptrol-
ler of the Currency (under section 5234, R. S.), and the officer by whom the acceptance
is made becomes liable to the penalties provided in the act of July 12, 1882.

The case presented in the second question is not, in my opinion, covered by the pro-
visions of section 5200 Revised Statutes.

The restriction then applies only to liabilities “for money borrowed.” The accept-
ance of a check, where the drawer has no funds on deposit, would be a loan of the
eredit of the bank, rather than a loan of money, and, if otherwise unobjectionable, it
could not properly be regarded as within the terms of the restriction adverted to.

The third question presents the same case in connection with section 5202, Revised
Statutes, which declares that “ no association shall at any time be indebted or in any
way liable to an amount exceeding the amount of its capital stock actually paid in
and remaining undiminished by losses or otherwise,” except on account of demands of
the nature therein described. Liabilities incurred by the acceptance of checks, the
drawers thereof having at the time no funds on deposit with the bank, do not appear
to fall within any of the exceptions enumerated ; and assuming such acceptance to be
lawful, I am of the opinion that the limit imposed by section 5202 extends to liabilities
thus incurred, and that the acceptance of checks by a bank, without the existence of
funds on deposit therewith, to an amount exceeding in the aggregate the amount of
its paid-in capital, would he a violation of that section.

Under this opinion of the Attorney-General it will be the duty of
the Comptroller to bring such evidence as he can obtain by frequent
examinations to the attention of the proper officers, in order that such
violation may be determined by the courts, and the penalty enforced as
provided by the statute.

the national banks for a series of years. These tables are again pre-
sented, and now exhibit also the amount of the outstanding bonds of
the government, and the amount held by the banks on November 1st
of the present year.

The most important oj)erations of the Secretary of the Treasury, dur-
ing the years which followed the close of the war, were the funding of
large amounts of temporary obligations then outstanding of the gov-
ernment chiefly into six per cent, bonds.

The six per cent.' bonds were graduallj^ reduced during the year 1869,
and the seven years following, by payment and refunding, into five per
cents. The six per cents, together with the five per cents, were subse-
qaehtly rapidly replaced by four and a half and four per cents, which
were authorized to be issued by the act of July 14, 1870. In the year
1881 all of the unredeemed five and six per cent, bonds, amounting to
$579,560,050, were continued, payable at the pleasure of the govern-
ment, with interest at three and one-half per cent., by agreement with
the holders, and since that time $164,833,200 of these three and one-
half per cent, bonds have been paid, and during the present year
$259,370,500 liaA^e been replaced by three per cents, under the aet of
J une 12, 1882.

The following table exhibits the classification of the unmatured in-
terest-bearing bonded debt of the United States* on August 31, 1865,
when the public debt reached its maximum, and on the 1st day of July
” of each year thereafter, together with the amount outstanding on No-
vember 1 of the present year:

The operations of the Treasury Department for a series of years have
largely reduced the amount of interest receivable by the national banks
on the bonds held by them. During the present year, ending Novem-
ber 1, the three and one half per cents have been reduced more than
two hundred millions ($200,769,200), and $179,685,550 of three per cents
have been deposited in place thereof.

Sixteen years ago the banks had on deposit as security for circula-
tion, 327 millions in United States bonds, of which amount 241 millions
bore interest at six per cent, and 86 millions at five per cent. These

bonds have now entirely disappeared from the list of securities held by
the national banks. The average rate of interest now paid by the
United States on the bonds deposited as security for circulating notes
is about 3.5 per cent, upon their par value; but is equal to about 3.26
per cent, only of the current market value of the bonds. The banks
now hold 33 millions of four and one-halfs; nearly 105 millions of fours ;
40 millions of three and one-half per cents converted from five and six
per cents, and 179 millions of three per cents, which have been refunded
from three and one-half per cents, during the present year. This will
be seen from the following table, which exhibits the amount and classes

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The interest-bearing funded debt of the United States was, on Novem-
ber 1 last, $1,418,080,200. The total amount of bonds held by all the banks
and bankers in the country as given above was $675,168,457, which is
not greatly less than one-half of the interest-bearing debt. The amounts
for the banks other than national have been obtained from the semi-
annual reports made by them to the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue,
for purposes of taxation. The table given below has also been compiled
from these reports, and shows, by geographical divisions, the average
amount invested by State banks, private bankers, trust companies, and
savings banks in United States bonds, for the six months ending May
31 for the four years named :

The amounts of United States bonds held, as shown by the tables
compiled from returns made by State banks, trust companies, and sav-.
ings banks to State officers, in twenty-one States and Territories were,
in 1882, $16,650,531 less than the average amount shown by the table'
compiled from the reports made to the Commissioner of Internal Ee ve-
nue, which were received from similar institutions.

The first-named table shows the actual amounts held at various dates
in 1882, while the last gives the average amount held for the six months
ending May 30, 1882. Although obtained from different sources and
based on data that are not equally complete, the amounts obtained from
the one source serve to corroborate those obtained from the other.

NATIONAL BANK FAILURES.

Three national banks have been placed in the hands of receivers dur-
ing the year ending November 1, 1882, namely : The Mechanics’ National
Bank of Newark, N. J., on November 2, 1881 ; the Pacific National
Bank of Boston, Mass., on May 22, 1882, and the First National Bank
of Buffalo, N. Y., on April 22, 1882. The suspension of the first-named
two banks was mentioned in the report of the Comptroller for the year
ending November 1, 1881, and the causes which led to both these fail
ures were then fully discussed. The directors of the Pacific National
Bank of Boston undertook to make good the impairment of its capi-
tal stock in the manner authorized by section 5205 of the Eevised Stat-
utes, but, as they failed to do so within the time fixed by law, a receiver
was appointed to take charge of its affairs. The failure of the First
National Bank of Buffalo was the result of the misappropriation of its
funds by its president. Its condition was discovered by the bank ex-
aminer when making his annual examination, and a receiver was ap-
pointed as before stated.

The affairs of ten national banks have been finally closed within the
year. These banks, with the total dividend paid by each to their cred-
itors, are as follows:

The First Natioual Bank of Selma, Ala 46.6 per cent.

The First National Bank of New Orleans, La 79. 0 per cent.

The National Bank of Vicksbnrg, Miss 49. 2 per cent.

The Ocean National Bank of New York City 100. 0 per. cent, and interest.

The First National Bank of Carlisle, Pa 73. 5 per cent.

The First National Bank of La Crosse, Wis 48. 4 per cent.

The First National Bank of Wichita, Kane. ^ 70. 0 per cent.

The First National Bank of Greenfield, Ohio 27. 0 per cent.

The First National Bank of Tarrytown, N. Y 90. 5 per cent.

The First National Bank of Meadville, Pa 100. 0 per cent, and interest.

The following banks have been closed, with the exception of litiga-
tion pending in the courts, and the expenses of the receiverships, in-

eluding the amounts paid to receivers for personal services, are in each
case no more than is necessary to carry on the suits. In each of these
instances, if litigation results favorably to the banks, some additional
dividends maybe paid.

The dividends already paid to the creditors of these associations are
as follows:

If the litigation now in progress should result favorably, it is esti-
mated that additional dividends will be paid as follows: To the credi-
tors of the First National Bank, Waynesburg, 25 per cent.; of the First
National Bank, Allentown, Pa., and First National Bank, Georgetown,
Col., 20 per cent.; the First National Bank of Mansfield, Ohio, andMiners^
National Bank of Georgetown, CoL, 10 per cent., and to the remaining
banks, dividends less than 5 per cent.

The affairs of the Cook County and Scandinavian National Banks of
Chicago, and of the National Bank of the State of Missouri of Saint
Louis also, cannot be closed until pendinglitigationis brought to a con-
clusion. The latter bank has already paid to its creditors 100 per cent,
of the principal of their claims, and more than 50 per cent, of interest
accrued up to December 1, 1882. It is expected that a considerable
portion, though not the whole, of the remaining interest will hereafter
be paid. ^

The First National Bank of New Orleans has been closed during the
year. The payment of a final dividend had been necessarily postponed
on account of delay experienced in adjusting accounts due to and from
the government, but which haveMuringthe year been finally settled by
an appropriation by Congress resulting in a recovery by the bank of
$94,000. The three following banks have paid their creditors the full
amount of their claims, principal and interest, and their affairs are still
in the hands of receivers appointed by the Comptroller, who are ad-
ministrating the remaining assets in the interest of the stockholders :

First National Bank of Newark, N. J 100 per cent, and interest in full.

First National Bank of Brattlekoro, Vt ^ 100 per cent, and interest in full.

Third National Bank of Chicago, 111 100 per cent, and interest in full.

It is probable that in each of these cases the shareholders will eventu-
ally receive a handsome perceutage upon the capital stock of the bank.
The following banks in the hands of receivers have paid dividends dur-
ing the past 3^ear. The total dividends up to November 1, 1882, being
also given.

The First National Bank of Selma, Ala., 4. 6 per cent.; total, 46. 6 per cent.

Since the commencement of the national hanking system 87 banks
have been placed in the hands of receivers, and 420 banks have vol-
untarily closed their business by the votes of shareholders owning
two-thirds of their stock, under the provisions of sections 5220 and
5221 of the Kevised Statutes of the United States. Of the banks so
placed in voluntary liquidation by their stockholders, 7 failed to pay
their depositors, and in these cases receivers were appointed by the
Comptroller to wind up their affairs. Of the 87 banks placed in the
hands of receivers, 51 have been finally closed, leaving 36 still in pro-
cess of settlement. The loss to creditors of national banks which have
been ifiaced in the hands of receivers during the nearly twenty years
that have elapsed since the passage of the act of February 25, 1863, as
near as can be estimated, including dividends which will probably be
hereafter paid, has been about $7,000,000. The average annual loss has
been, therefore, about $400,000 in the business of corporations having
an average capital of about $450,000,000, and whi6h have been respon-
sible for the safe keeping of deposits in their hands averaging constantly
over $800,000,000, or about one-twentieth of one per cent, of annual
loss to depositors. The time required for liquidating the affairs of in-
solvent banks depends chiefly upon the amount of litigation which may
arise, as in any case it is impossible to tell in advance what questions it
may become necessary to refer to the courts for decision. In many of
these cases no conclusion can be reached until the matter has been
brought before the courts of last resort. The dockets of the supreme
courts in most of the States, and that of the Supreme Court of the
United States, are crowded, and when an appeal is made to these tri-
bunals, years often elapse before the case can be reached. Owing, how-
ever, to the decisions already made, the forms of procedure, under the
laws governing national banks, are better understood, and in collecting
assets, in allowing offsets, and enforcing the liabilities of stockholders,
there is now no inducement to protract litigation, either on the part of
the ordinary debtors of the bank or of the stockholders who become
such debtors when assessed. under their liability, as provided in section
5151 of the Eevised Statutes. In all cases of failure of national hanks

Creditors paid in full.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES,

tliere are niauy claims presented to the receivers which, for various rea-
sons, do not appear to be properly liabilities of the association, and itis
necessary, in order to protect the interests of the genuine creditors,
that such claims should be rejected until their merits have been properly
investigated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The liability of directors for negligent discharge of their duties, or
for malfeasance, is not yet clearly defined by any authoritative decision,
but such decisions as there are bearing upon this matter point to a com-
plete remedy against them also. The total amount paid to creditors of
insolvent national banks amounts to $20,945,090j upon proved claims
amounting to $29,586,558. The dividends so far paid thus equal about
70 per cent, of the proved claims. The amount paid during the year
was $2,283,392. ^

Assessments amounting to $8,101,750 have been made upon the stock-
holders of insolvent national banks for the purpose of enforcing their indi-
vidual liability under section 5151 of the Eevised Statutes, of which about
$3,200,000 have been collected and $534,080.70 during the past year.

A table showing the national banks which have been placed in the
hands of receivers, the amount of their capital, of claims proved, the
rates of dividends paid, and also showing the amount of circulation of
such banks issued, redeemed, and outstanding, will be found in the Ap-
pendix.

The attention of Congress has previously been called to section 5200
of the Revised Statutes, which places restrictions upon loans, and to the
difficulty of enforcing its provisions. In cities where large amounts of
produce are received and stored, it is represented that it is impossible
for the banks to transact this class of business, if restricted to loans for
an amount not exceeding in any instance one-tenth of their capital. It
is true that the limitation does not apply to loans upon produce in transit,
where the drafts are drawn on existing values 5 but if produce is stored,
instead of being shipped, large loans cannot be made except in violation
of law. In such case the Comptroller has no means of enforcing the law,
except by bringing a suit for forfeiture of charter, and this course might
result in great embarrassment to business, as well as loss to many inno-
cent stockholders of the banks. It is evident that the law should be so
amended as to exclude from the limitation mentioned legitimate loans
upon produce or warehouse receipts, and some other classes of collat-
eral security, as well as loans upon United States bonds.

The national banks held silver coin amounting, on October 1, 1877, to
$3,700,703, and on October 1, 1878, to $5,392,628. On October 2, 1879,
the amount held was $4,986,493, and on October 1, 1880, it was
$6,495,477, including $1,165,120 in silver treasury certificates, and on
October 3, 1882, it was $8,273,815, including $1,807,600 of silver certifi-
cates. On October 1, of the present year, the official reports of the State
banks in Kew England, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Louisiana,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Minnesota show that
these banks then held specie amounting to $7,140,867, of which the banks
in New York City held $3,484,913. The official returns from the State
banks of California do not give separately the amount of coin held by
them; but it is estimated that of the total cash reported, amounting to
$10,542,859, $10,060,622 consisted of coin. The amount of coin held by
State banks in the States before mentioned, including California, was,
therefore, $ 17,201,489.

The Director of the Mint, in his report for 1881, estimates the amount
of coin in the country on June 30, 1880, at $501,555,711, of which
$358,958,691 was gold and $142,597,020 was silver. His estimate for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, is as follows :

CLEARING-HOUSE CERTIPICATES.

Section 5192 Eevised Statutes provides that clearing-house certifi-
cates. representing specie or lawful money specially deposited for the
purposes of any clearing-house association, shall also be deemed to be
lawful money in the possession of any association belonging to such
clearing-house holding and owning such certificate; and section 5193
lirovides that the Secretary of the Treasury may receive United States
notes on deposit, without interest, from any national banking associa-
tion, in sums not less than ten thousand dollars, and issue certificates
therefor in denominations of not less than five thousand dollars, which
certificates may be counted as part of the lawful-money reserve, and
may be accepted in the settlement of clearing-house balances at the
places where the deposits therefor were made.

The legal-tender note certificates were first issued in the fiscal year
1873. On June 30, 1875, there were outstanding $59,045,000 of these
certificates, of which the national banks held $47,310,000. On June 30,
1876, the amount outstanding was $33,140,000, of which the banks
held $27,955,000. On June 30, 1879, the amount had been reduced to
$29,330,000, and the banks held on June 14 of the same year, $25,180,000.
The amount outstanding on October 3, 1882, was $10,725,000, and the
national banks held on that day, $8,645,000.

The issue of the gold certificates was authorized by the fifth section of
the act of March 3, 1863, and they were used for clearing-house purposes
soon after the passage of the national bank act. The first issue was
made on November 13, 1865. On June 30, 1875, there were outstanding
$21,796,300,of which tile uationalbanksinNew York City held $12,642,180.
The issue of these certificates was discontinued on December 1, 1878, and
the amount outstanding had decreased on June 30,1879, to $15,413,700,
and on October 1, 1880, to $7,480,100. The amount outstanding on
October 3, was $4,907,440, of which the national banks held $4,594,300.
The issue of gold certificates having been discontinued by the govern-
ment, and the amount of gold coin having rapidly increased, the banks
in New York found it necessary to establish a depository of gold coin
for the convenience of the clearing-house. This depository at the present
time is the Bank of America, by which bank certificates of deposit
were first issued on October 14, 1879. The amount of such certifi-
cates outstanding on November 1, 1882, was $26,390,000; on January
1, 1880, $25,610,000. The largest amount of coin on deposit, during the
year, was on January 21, 1882, aTz, $45,330,000, the capacity of the
TOult having been increased since 1880. The national banks of New
Y^ork City held on July 1, 1882, $34,486,000; on October 3, $41,132,000.

The act of February 28, 1878, authorized any holder of silver dollars
of the weight of 412^ grains troy of standard silver, to deposit the
same with the Treasurer, or any assistant treasurer, of the United
States, in sums not less than ten dollars, and receive therefor certificates
of not less than ten dollars each, corresponding with the denomina-
tions of the United States notes. It required that the coin deposited,
or representing the certificates, should be retained in the Treasury for
the payment of the same on demand, and that said certificates should be
receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues, and also authorized
their reissue. This act did not authorize their use as clearing-house
certificates, nor make them available as reserve for the national banks.

The act of July 12, 1882, authorized and directed the Secretary of the
Treasury to receive deposits of gold coin in denominations of not less
than $20 each, corresponding Avith the denominations of United States

notes. The coin deposited for the certificates is required to be retained
for the payment of the same on demand, and these certificates, and also
silver certificates, are authorized to be counted as part of the lawful
reserve of the national banks.

The act also provides that —

No national banking association shall be a member of any clearing bouse in wbicb
such certificates shall not be receivable in the settlement of clearing-house balances.

The amount of silver certificates outstanding on November 1 was
$65,620,450. The amount of gold certificates which had been issued
under this act on November 1, 1882, was $21,790,000.

STATE RANKS, TRUST COMPANIES, AND SAVINGS BANKS. '

The act of Congress of February 19, 1873, section 333 of the United
States Kevised Statutes, requires the Comptroller to obtain from au-
thentic sources, and report to Congress, statements, exhibiting under
appropriate heads, the resources and liabilities of such banks and sav-
ings banks as are organized under the laws of the several States and
Territories. In compliance with this act, he has presented annually in
the appendices to bis reports, the resources and liabilities of these corpo-
rations, so far as it has been possible to obtain them. Through the
courtesy of State officers, returns of State banks, savings banks, and
trust and loan companies have, during the past year, been received from
twenty- three States. Many of the States and Territories, including
Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota, Oregon, Virginia, and Tennessee
do not require periodical returns of the condition of the diffierent classes
of banks organized under their laws.

From these returns, the following abstract has been compiled, show-
ing the resources and liabilities of State banks and trust companies for
the last three years, the number reporting in 1880 being 650; in 1881,
683, and in 1882, 704.

The foregoing table includes the returns from the six New England
States, from four Middle States, not including Delaware, from the States
of Ohio, Indiana, California, and the District of Columbia. The ag-
gregate of loans in the New England States is $252,010,803, and of
deposits, $430,233,402. In the Middle States the aggregate of loans is
$145,099,593, and of deposits, $469,058,085.

Some of the largest savings banks in the city of Philadelphia, organ-
ized under old charters, are not required to make reports to any State
officer. Keturns received directly from four of these banks, having de-
posits amounting to $29,913,605, are included in the returns from the
State of Pennsylvania.

The savings-banks deposits, given in the foregoing table for 1882,
based upon reports made to State authorities, are $966,797,081, and the
deposits of the State banks and trust companies were $426,677,092.
These returns do not include bank deposits. The deposits of the
national banks on October 3, 1882, exclusive of those due to banks,
were $1,138,071,777. These deposits of the national banks bear to those
of the savings banks the proportion, nearly, of 55 to 45 ; to those of the
State banks and trust companies the proportion of 73 to 27; and to the
combined deposits of both, the proportion of 45 to 55.

was 4,010,529, and the nninber of open-deposit accouiits of the savings
banks in the year 1882 is 1,294,859, which is equal to 32.3 accounts to
each one hundred of the entire population. The average amount of
each account is $332.26, and if the total deposits were divided among
the entire poiiulation, the average sum of $107.27 could be given to each
individual.

The deposits of the savings banks in the State of !New York were
$387,832,893, while the population is 5,082,871, showing that an equal
distribution of the savings-banks deposits among the entbe population
of the State would give $76,30 to each individual. Tables showing the
aggregate resources and liabilities of State banks, trust companies, and
savings banks in each State, from which returns have been received
from the State authorities appear in the Appendix.

A table is also there given showing by States the number of savings-
bank depositors and the average amount due to each in 1881 and 1882.

PRIVATE BANKERS.

In the Appendix will be found three comprehensive tables of two
pages each, giving by geographical divisions, and by States, Territories,
and principal cities, the number of* State banks, savings banks, trust
and loan companies, and private bankers of the country, for the present
and two previous years, together with the amount of their capital and
deposits, and the amount of their capital invested by them in United
States bonds. The first official information of this character ever pub-
lished in regard to the private bankers of the country was contained in
a table in the Comptroller’s report for 1880. The following information
in reference to the private bankers in sixteen of the principal cities has
been compiled from the table in the Appendix for the year 1882 :

SECURITY FOR CIRCULATING NOTES.

During previous years there have been many changes in the classes
of United States bonds held by the national banks as security for their
circulation, owing to the payment or refunding or extension of the dif-
ferent issues of five and six per cent, bonds bearing interest at four and
one-half, four, three and one-half, and three per cent. During the pres-
ent year 259 millions of three and one-half per cent, bonds, held by
the banks, which were extended from five or six per cent, bonds in the
year 1881, have been changed into three per cent, bonds. The amount
of United States bonds held by the Treasurer as security for the circu-
lating notes of the national banks on the first day of November, 1882,
is exhibited in the following table :

During the year 1871, and previous thereto, a large portion of the
bonds bore interest at the rate of six per cent., and until the year 1877
all of the bonds bore interest at either five or six per cent. The five
or six per cent, bonds, in the year 1881, entirely disappeared from the
list of these securities, with the exception of three and a half million
of Pacific sixes.

At the present time more than eleven per cent, of the amount, pledged
for circulation, consists of bonds bearing interest at three and a half per
cent, only, and nearly fifty per cent, of them bear interest at three per
cent., and the remainder, with the exception of three and one-half
millions of Pacifies, bear interest at the rate of four and four and a
half per cent.

gOMKTROLLEK OF THE CURRENCY. 177

COUNTERFEIT AND UNSIONED NATIjONAL-BANK NOTES.

Section 5 of the act of June 30, 1876, provides —

That all United States officers, charged with the receipt or disbursement of public
moneys, and all officers of national banks, shall stamp or write in plain letters the word
‘^counterfeit,’^ “altered” or “worthless,” upon all fraudulent notes issued in the form
of, and intended to circulate as money, which shall be^ presented at their place of
business, and if such officers shall wrongfully stamp any genuine note of the United
States, or of the national banks, they shall, upon presentation, redeem such notes at
the face value thereof.

This section makes it the duty, not only of everyMifficer of the United
States charged with the receipt or disbursement of public moneys, but
also of all officers of the national banks, to stamp every fraudulent note
which shall be presented at their conuters, in such a manner as shall
thereafter prevent its circulation.

There is no doubt that there has been great neglect on the part of
national bank officers to comply with this law. The number of coun-
terfeit national bank notes which have been issued is very small in pro-
portion to the number issued previous to the establishment of the na-
tional banking system, but the number in circulation has largely
increased during the last few years, probably owing to the fact that the
bank notes which are pi’esented at the counters of the banks, and which
are known to be fraudulent, are not immediately stamped ^‘counterfeit/^
“altered,” or “worthless,’^ as required by law. If a genuine note is
wrongfully stamped, the officer thus stamping it can immediately ob-
tain a genuine note in exchange by forwarding the same to the Treas-
urer for redemption, so that there is no risk whatever on the part of
the officers of national banks, even if they should wrongfully stamp a
genuine note.

Section 5172 of the Eevised Statutes i^rovides that national bank
notes shall express upon their face the promise of the association issu-
ing the same to pay on demand, attested hy the signatures of the presi-
dent or vice-president and cashier, and stction 5182 of the Eevised
Statutes provides, Ihat after any association receiving circulating notes
has caused its promise to pay such notes on demand to he signed by the
president or vice-president and cashier thereof, in such manner as to
make them obligatory promissory notes, payable on demand at its place
of business, such association may issue and circulate the same as money.

There can be no doubt as to the meaning and intention of these sec-
tions. The law requires that national bank notes shall be signed by the
president or vice-president and cashier, before they are placed in circu-
lation, and every bank issuing notes, not thus signed by these officers,
subjects itself to a forfeiture of its charter. Notwithstanding this plain
provision of law, various banks have issued their notes with printed
signatures, and in some cases with lithographic signatures, which are so
badly executed as to excite suspicion as to the genuineness of the notes.
The written signature of the officers of the bank are necessary as an
additional precaution against counterfeiting. The signature of atjeast
one bank- officer is necessary as a check between this, office and the
issuing bank, for if the question of an overissue of notes should arise,
the signature of such officer would, Avithout question, determine the
genuineness of the note.

A . bill is now pending in Congress, imposing a fine of twenty dollars
" for every circulating note issued by any national bank without the
written signature thereon of at least one of its officers.

National bank notes, with new designs, are now being rapidly issued

to banks whose corporate existence has been extemled, and to other
national banks which are being organized, and it is important that
these new notes should not be issued unless signed by the offibers in
.accordance with law. The Comptroller respectfully repeats his pre^
vious recommendations for the passage of the act referred to, which
act should also impose a penalty upon any engraver or lithographer
who shall print the signature of bank officers upon such notes.

, TAXATION.

o'.'

In previous reports the repeal of the law imi:>osing a tax upon bank
capital and deposits, and of the two cent stamp tax on checks, has been
recommended as a measure of justice to the banks, and as a benefit to the
people, and to the manufacturing and commercial interests of the coun-
try. During the last session of Congress a bill including a provision
for repealing these taxes was passed by the House by a vote of 127 to 79.
The debate in the Senate, as well as some votes on i3reliminary ques-
tions, showed that if a vote upon the bill had been reached it would
have become a law. The force of the reasons heretofore urged for the
repeal of these taxes is as great as ever. The revenue still continues in
excess of the amount required for thk expenses of the government, in-
cluding interest on the public debt which is being rapidly reduced; and
the taxes imposed upon banking capital by the government. State, and
municipal authorities are larger than during any previous year. The
Comptroller presents, herewith, a table which gives, for the year 1881,
the amount of the banking capital invested in national banks, and the
amount and rates of United States and State taxes paid by the nationa,!
banks in evei;y State and principal city in the Union.

It will be seeu that the per ceuta-ge of State taxation during the year
1881 varies from 1.3 per cent, in the Southern States to 1.9 per cent, in
the Middie and Western States, and that tlie average percentage
throughout the United States remains the same as it was during the
year 1880, but has increased one-tenth of one percent, as compared with
that paid during the year 1879. The total of United States and State
taxes paid by national banks to capital is 3.7 per cent, during the year
1881, having increased one-tenth of one per cent, over those paid in
1880, and one half of one per cent, over those paid during the year 1879.

The rates of United States taxation are the same in all sections of
the country. The inequ.ality in tlie percentages of UnitM States taxes
to capital arises from the fact that while the United States tax is im-
posed on the three items of capital, deposits, and circulation, the per-
centages given in the tables are those of the total tax derived from
these three sources to capital only. Where the deposits are large
in proportion to capital, the proportion of the United States tax, as
measured by cai>ital, appears greater. The first table given , below
shows the percentages to capital of taxation paid by the banks in the
principal cities of the country. Particular attention is called to the
inequality in State taxation shown by; it. The second table gives the
States iirwhich the taxes, United States and State, are most excessive.

The liniform rates of IlBited States taxes are animally one per cent,
upon their notes in circulation; one-half of one per cent, upon their de-
posits, and the same rate upon the average amount of their capital, in
excess of that invested by them .in United States bonds. These taxes
are paid semi-annually hy the national banks to the Treasurer of the
United States, and subject the government to no expense for their col-
lection.

The Avhole cost of the national banking system to the government,
from the date of its establishment in 1863, has been $5,366,908; on the
other hand, the government has, in about twenty years, collected taxes
upon the capital, circulation, and deposits of national banks at the rates
heretofore specified, amounting, as may be seen by the following table,
to $118,005,706.25 :

The tax imposed upon banks other than national is collected by the
Gommissioner of Internal Eevenue. The rates upon capital and de-
posits are the same as in the case of the national banks. A tax of
ten percent, is imposed, under section 3412 of the Ee vised Statutes,
on the use, in payments, of notes issued by any banks other than
national. This tax has the eifect of preventing the issue of circulating
notes by State banks. The table below gives the taxes collected annually
by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue during the years from 1864 to

This table shows that the percentages to capital of taxes have never
been less than three per cent, annually, and that during the last four
I years given there has been an increase in the rate from 3.1 per cent, to
3.7 per cent. It is probable that the rates of State taxation paid by
banks, other than national, do not vary much from the rate of those
paid, by the national banks, although in many of the States, the laws
relative to the assessment of taxes upon bank capital have, heretofore’,
somewhat discriminated against national banks. The repeal of the law
imposing the government taxes will still leave the thanks subject to a
burden of taxation by the different States much greater than that im-
posed by them upon any other kind of capital, and this repeal is again
urgently recommended. The reduction of the annual rate of the tax
on circulation to ohe-half of one i^er cent, is also recommended for reasons
given in another portion of this'report.

DECISIONS RELATIVE TO STATE TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANK SHARES'.

In the last annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency refer-
ence was made to the decision of the United States circuit court of the
northern district of the State of New York, in the case of the National
Albany Exchange Bank vs. Charles A. Hills et al:^ supervisors of Albany
County, ^New l^ork, namely, that the law; of the State of New York under
which taxes had been assessed for fourteen years upon bank shares was
void and invalid, for the reason that this act did not permit the owners of
national bank shares to reduce the assessment by the amount of tlieir
debts, while owners of other moneyed capital possessed that privilege.
The circuit court rendered a judgment in“ favor of Stanley, the as-
signee and representative of the stockholders of the National Albany
Exchange Bank, for taxes previously exacted and paid. The supervis-
ors appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision
of the latter court was rendered April 3, 1882, and reversed the decision
of the circuit court in the case of all except one of the stockholders
represented by Stanley. ^ ^

The court said :

The question here to be decided arises under two statutes of the State of New York
in regard to taxation. -The first of these is tlie act of 1850, relating to the assessment
and collection of taxes in the city of Albany. The sixth section of the act requires
the board of assessors to prepare an assessment roll, in which there shall be set oppo-
site the name of eacb tax-payer (1) all his real estate liable to. taxation, and its value;
(2) the full value of all liis personal property, after deducting the just debts owing by
hiim. Section 9 of the act is as follows: ^‘If any person shall at any time before the
assessors shall have completed their assessments make affidavit that the value of his
real estate does not exceed a certain sum, to be specified in sxich affidavit, or that the
value of the personal estate owned by him, after deducting his just debts and his
X>roperty invested in the stock of any corporation or association liable to be taxed
therefor, does not exceed a certain sum, to be specified in the affidavit, it shall be the
duty of the board of asse^ors to value such real or persoual estate, or both, as the
case may he, at the sum specified iu such affidavit, and no more.”

In 1866 the State enacted a law concerning the taxation of bank shares, w.hich was
evidently intended to meet the requirements of the act of Congress in relation to
8tate taxation of the shares of national banks, and the provision of this statute
relates only to taxing stockholders iu banks, and to the capital invested iu individual
■ banks. The first section of this act reads as follows, and it contains no other pro-
' visions for deductions as the basis of taxation, except what is found in this, section :

“ No tax shall hereafter be assessed upon the capital of any hank or banking associa-
tion organized under the authority of this State or of the United States, but the.
stockholders iu such banks and banking associations shall be assessed and taxed on
the value of their shares of stock therein,” &c.

In the case of Peoi)le v. Dolan (36 N. Y., 59) the question was whether, taking the"'
two statutes together, aii owner of shares of stock was entitled to deduct from the
assessed value of his shares the just debts due him. * * ^ The court of appeals

-decided that no such deduction should he made under the law of 1866. In the„casel
of Williams v Weaver, Williams had made the affidavit required by section 9 of the
act of 1850, and demanded a deduction of the assessors, which they refused. The
case was taken to the court of appeals, which reaffirmed the principles held in
the case of Peoj>le v. Dolao. The Williams case coming to the United States Supreme
■Co'urt by writ of error, it was held that while we are bound to accept the decision of
the highest court of the State in construction of its own statute, the act of 1866 as
thus construed was in that particular iu conflict with the act of Congress, because it
did tax shares of the national banks at a higher rate than other moneyed capital in
the State. ^ ^ Accepting, therefore, as we must, the act of 1866, as construed by the

court of fti)pea].s of New York, as not authorizing any deduction for debts by a share-
holder of a national bank, is it for that reason absolutely void? * * It would
seem that if the act remains a valid ^rule of assessment for shares of State banks and
for individual ban kers, it sb ould also remain the rule for shareholders of national banks
' who have no debts to deduct. ^

None of the stockholders except Williams made the affidavit required
by the act of 18‘50, shoy^ing they had debts to deduct, and therefore in

their case the judgment of the circuit court was reversed, and in that of
Williams affirmed.

This decision seems to' cut off all remedy for taxes already paid by
stockholders of Albany national banks who neglected to make the affi-
^ davit required under the act of 1850.

In People V. Weaver the Supreme Court pointed out that the method"
to piHsue in cases whei^e the taxation by State authority of shares of
national, banks was greater than that of other monied capital in the
same State, was by enjoining the collection of the excessive taxa-
tion. In the case of National Albany Exchange Bank v. Hills, the
bank brought, on behalf of its stockholders, a suit to enjoin the collec-
tion for taxes assessed but unpaid for the year 1870, and the circuit
court of the northern district of New York granted a perpetual injunc-
tion. The Supreme Court decided that the injunction was ]3roperly
granted as to one stockholder, who made affidavit and demand on ac-
count of deduction of his debts, but not as to the others, who had made
no such affidavit or demand, but in the case of the latter the lower court
was directed to permit them to bring their action in an amended form,
on the ground that they refrained from making affidavit and demand,
because they knew it would have no effect. .

In the case of German National Baidv of Chicago v. Kimball, appealed
to the United States Supreme Court from circuit court for the north-
ern district of Illinois, it was decided that no one can be permitted to
go into a court of equity to enjoin the collection of a tax, until he has
shown himself entitled to the aid of the court by paying so much of the
tax assessed against him as it can be plainly seen he ought to pay, nor
should he be permitted, because his tax is in excess of what is just and
^ lawful, to screen himself from paying any tax at all, until the X3recise
amount which he ought to pay, is ascertained by a court of equity.

In the* case of Evan syi lie National Bank v: Britton, referrM to
last year, as decided in the United States circuit court for the district
of Indiana, the Supreme Court affii'ms the decree of the lowen court,
perpetually enjoining the collector as to those shareholders who at the
time of the assessment proved that they owed debts which should right-
fully be deducted, and dismissing the bill as to other shareholders.

All of these decisions appear to have grown out of matters pending
when the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of
People^v. Weaver was rendered. It is i>robable that in most States the
legislatures Avill so modify their laws taxing bank shares as hereafter
to conform with the principles laid doAvn in that decision; but these
^ supplementary decisions are valuable in that they point out a mode
of action in all cases where discrimination in any form is made in
assessing or collecting taxes on national bank shares. The party ag-
grieved must clearly state the amount of the excessive taxation, pay
what is justly due, and enjoin the collection of the remainder. In stat-
ing the amount believed to be unjustly demanded, strict regard must be
’ V had to the forms required by the State laws in force in the place where
. the bank in legated. While the Supreme Court of the United States is
- extremely careful not unnecessarily to interfere with the effect of State

legislation in the taxation of national bank shares, it upholds the rights
of indmduals under Federal laws when actions based on equitable
grounds are brought in a proper manner.

In Ne w York City it is claimed that under the act now in force in the
State, taxing national and other bank shares, which permits the deduc-
tion of debts, there is still great discrimination in the valuation of bank
shares as comx>ared Avith the A^aliiatioii of other x^ersonal x)rox)erty and
real estate.

' Of the losses exhibited by the foregoing tables, $2,025,502 was on
account of premiums on United States bonds charged off. The high
premiums upon the United States bonds not subject to redemption
at the option of the government, compel those organizing new national
banks to invest a portion of their capital in a premium account. As
the premium may entirely disappear at the maturity of the bonds it has
been a requirement of this office that a portion of such premium account
shall be charged to undi vided profits each h alf year before the declaration
of a dividend until the whole account shall have disappeared, ft is, of
coarse, possible that many of these amounts charged off*, either on account
of premiums or on account of technical bad d^bts, may eventually be
realized by the bank. The bank may close and withdraw and sell its
bonds while they yet command a ijremium. Debts, though technically
bad on account of interest remaining due and unpaid over six months,
may neA^ertheless be afterwards paid. These recoA^ered losses are
included in the profits of each half yeai\ Banks holding 4 per cent,
bonds have been instructed to charge off each year one-twentieth part
of the premium paid thereon, and counted as an asset; those holding 4^,
per cent, bonds haA'e been instructed to similarly charge off* one-tenth
of the. premium, and those holding Pacific Railroad sixes to charge off*
one-fifteenth. The charges in each case were to be made t>re\dous to
the semi-annual declaration of a diAddend, and at no time is the amount
of premium counted as an asset to exceed the current market premium
on the bonds held.

SURPLUS.

In the following table is exhibited the gradual accumulation of a sur-
X>lus fund under the provisions of section 5199, requiring each associa-
tion, before the declaration of the semi-annual dividend, to carry to sur-
plus one-tenth of its net profits for the preceding half year, until such
fund shall amount to 20 per cent, of its capital.

Practically the law requires that the suri3lus fund of each bank shall
at all times equal an amount equal to one-tenth of its total net earnings
since it commenced business. Many of the banks accumulate the fund
much faster than this, aud some pass dividends for the purpose of doing
so. Some do not stop at the twenty per cent, limit named in section 5199,
but continue to iucrease their surplus until the latter is often greater
than the capital stock. As the fund is very rarely diminished except
for such extraordinary losses as cannot be met out of current profits,
it, together with the capital, constitutes the working fund of the bank
by the use of which dividends are earned. Bearing this in mind, it will
be seen that the returns made to stockholders of national banks for
their investment are not excessive.

In an excellent paper on the national banks of the United States,
read before the Bankers Institute of London, England, May 17, 1882,
by Mr. Eobert AT. Barnett, an associate of the Institute^ and published

1^0 KEPORT ON THE FINANCES.

in the jom^nal of the Institute for July, 1882, the following comment is
made:

‘^Dividends paid by the banks have, on the whole, been satisfactory ;
although, taking into consideration the value of capital in the United
States and the general rates of* interest prevailing, the average rate of
dividends must be pronounced moderate.”

UNITED STATES DEOAL- TENDER NOTES AND NATIONAL BANK CIB-
. CULATION.

The acts of February 25, 1862, July 11, 1862, and March 3, 1863, each
authorized the issue of 150 millions of dollars of legal-tender notes, mak-
ing an aggregate of 450 millions of dollars.

On January 30, 1864, the amount of such notes outstanding was
$449,338,902, which was the highest amount outstanding at anj^ one
time. The act of June 30, 1864, provided that the total amount of
UnitelJ States notes issued, or to be issued, should not exceed 400 mill-
ions of dollars, and such additional sum, not exceeding 50 millions, as
might be temporarily required for the redemption of temporary loans. .
By the act of June 20, 1 874, the maximum amount was fixed at 382 mill-
ions. Section 3, act of January 14, 1875, authorized an increase of the
circulation of national banks in accordance with existing law, without
respect to the limit previouslj^ existing, and required the Secretary of
the Treasury to retire legal-tender notes to an amount equahto eighty
per cent, of the national-bank notes thereafter issued, until the amount
of such legal- tender notes outstanding should be 300 millions, and no
more. Under the operation of this act, $35,318,984 of legal-tender notes
wer^ retired, leaving the amount in cii’culatioh on May 31, 1878, the
date of the repeal of the act, $346,681,016, which is the amount now out-
standing. '

In the following table are given the amount and kinds of the outstand-
ing currency of the United States and of the national banks on Jan-
uary 1 of each year, from 1866 to 1882, and on November 1, 1882, to
which is prefixed the amount on August 31, 1865, when the public debt
reached its maximum.

while the fifties and larger notes are only 15.6 per cent, of the entire
circulation. While the amount of ones and twos of the national-bank
circulation is stea^ly diminishing, the legal-tender notes of these de- .
nominations are as steadily increasing.

Of the entire amount of national-bank and legal-tender notes out-
standing, about 7.5 per cent, consists of one and tAVo dollar notes; more
than 30.8 per cent, of ones, twos, and fives; more than 58.3 per cent, is
in notes of a less denomination than twenty dollars, while about 79.6
per cent, is in notes of a lower denomination than fifty dollars. Of the
entire issue about twenty per cent, is in denominations of fifties, one
hundreds, five hundreds, and one thousands. There are also outstand-
ing 479 legal-tender notes of the denomination of five thousand, and
23 notes of the denomination of ten thousand. . . .

194 REPORT ON THE FINANCES,

tween that time and. January 26, 1882, the date of the foregoing table,
of 328,234,895 francs, or $65,646,979, and since January 30, 1879, an in-
crease of 561,345,845 francs, or $112,269,169. *

It will be seen that the Imperial Bank of Germany has in circulation
no notes of a less denomination than seven dollars and a half (ten
thalers), and issues none of less than twenty-five dollars, (one hundred
marks); and that the Bank of France issues but little over a million
and a quarter of a less denomination than ten dollars. The Bank of
England issues no notes of less than £5, or twenty-five dollars, and the
Irish and Scotch banks none of less than £1, or five dollars.

quires the banks at all times to keep on deposit in the Treasury 5 per
centum of their circulation as a redemption fund, that fund as a rule
has been maintained, and circulating notes of the banks have been
promptly redeemed at the Treasury, without expense to the government.

The following table exhibits the amount ot national-bank motes re-
ceived for redemption monthly by the Comptroller of the Currency for
the year ending October 31, 1882, and the amount received for the same
period at the redemption agency of the Treasury, together with the

REPORT

/ OF .

THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.

Tkeasury Dei>aiixment,

Bxjreatj of the Mint,

October 12, 1882.

Sir: I have the honor to submit my fourth, the tenth annual report
of the Director of the Mint since the organization of this Bureau, show-
ing the operations of the mints and assay offices of the United States
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882.

The receipts of foreign coin and bullion declined, and at the close of
the year had almost entirely ceased, yet a large amount of bullion was
deposited for parting and refining, and the raint^ were fully occupied
in coining the silver i^urchased for that purpose, and the large amount
of gold i>reviously received from foreign countries as well as that pro-
duced during the year by the mines of the United States.

The import of gold continued to exceed its export during the first
half of the fiscal year, at the close of which the excess amounted to
$30,100,230. In the latter part of the year the movement Avas reversed
and the excess of the exports over the gold imports Avas $28,311,047,
reducing the net gain during the whole of the fiscal year to $1,789,183.

DEPOSITS AND PURCHASES.

The deposits of bullion and coin, exclusive of redeposits, were, of gold,
$66,756,652.95, and of silver, including purchases, $33,720,491.42, mak-
ing a total of $100,477,144.37; of which $ ')7,993^086.03 of gold and
$1,787,385.67 of silver were again deposited, making the total amount
received and operated upon during the year at all the mints and assay
offices $124,749,738.98 of gold and $35;507, 877.09 of silver^ a total of
' $160,257,616.07.

The deposits of domestic x>i‘oduction were, gold, $31,298,511.97, and
silver, $30,956,588.18, a total of $62,255,100.15; of foreign coin and bull-
ion, gold, $33,0S8,617,82, and of silver, $2,287,463.17 ; of United States
coin, gold, $599,356.80, of silver, $127,572.40, a. total of $726,929.20, and
of jewelry, plate, &c., gold, $1,770,166.36; silver, $348,867.67.

COINAGE.

The gold coinage of the mints during both the fiscal and calendar
: year was greater than that of any x)revious year in their history; being

for the latter nearly eleven millions greater than the gold coinage* of
the fiscal year 1881, and nearly twenty-seven millions in excess of the
heaA^y coinage in 1851 of $62,614,492.50.

• 202 / ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. , .

. At the commencement of the fiscal year the coinage mints and New
York assay office held of uncoined gold bullion $86,548,696,96, and at the
close of the year there remained $53,700,225.'57, the amount on hand
having been reduced $32,848,471.39; With this and $66,756,652.95 gold
deposited during the year there were coined 11,266,003 pieces of gold
of the value "of $89,413,447.50, the balance having been paid to depositors
. in fine ba;rs and accounted for in the Avastage of the operative officers
. and the loss on sale of sweeps. About five-sixths ($65,000,000) of the
total gold coinage was in eagles and half eagles. The coinage of double
eagles being $14,563,920; of eagles, $44,369,410, and of half eagles,
$30,473,955.

. The gold coinage of the Philadelphia Mint Avas nearly all in eagles
and half eagles, the value of the former being $36,700,050 and of the
' latter. $22, 971, 725.

At the San Francisco Mint little over half, of the coinage was in
eagles and half eagles, the denominations coined being, double eagles,
$14,200,000; eagles, $7,400,000; half eagles, $7,250,000. Coinage at the
San Francisco Mint of a portion of the bullion belonging to the United
States into denominations of $20 has been permitted because of the
greater demand for large coins on the Pacific coast, where the large ex-
changes and settlements are generally eifected by the actual use of gold,
and less paper is employed ibr the purpose than in other portions of the
country. "

The sih^'er coinage amounted to $27,783,388.75, of which $27,772,075
were silA^er dollars and $11,313.75 were proof silver coins of other de-
nominations.

The total number of pieces struck during the year, and their value, were

The stock of S cent nickel coins in the Treasury having become de-
pleted, and there being a demand for such coin, the Secretary of the
Treasury, on the 12th day of November, 1881, directed that the coinage
of 5-cent nickels be resumed, and that the copper and nickel cents
issued under acts in force prior to the passage of the Coinage Act of
1873, held in the custody of the superintendent of the mint at Phila-
delphia for the Treasurer of the United States, should be recoined into

DIRECfOR OF THE MINT.

5-cent nickel pieces, of which 4,400,775 pieces, of a value of $220,038.75,
were^stmck during the year. This recoiuage has occasioned no loss,
but on the contrary has resulted in a large profit.

BARS.

Gold bars were me nufactured during the year to the value of
$37,505,120.04. At the New York Assay Office, fine bars . of the value
of $12,147,674.90 were prepared for depositors, and bars of stand-
ard fineness of the value of $23,739,978.18 were made for shipment to
the Philadelphia Mint for coinage. Fine silver bars of the value of
$7,769,898.15 were manufactured for depositors, principally at the New
York Assay Office. »

The total value of fine, standard, and unparted silver bars manu-
factured at all the mints and assay offices was $8,129,202,94^ and the
total value of both gold and silver bars $45,634,322.98.

BARS EXCHAN aEB FOR COIN.

The act, approved on the 26th of May last, authorizing the receipt of
United States gold coin in exchange for gold bars has been found, as
was an ticipated, ad vantageous to the government. Under its provisions,
during the month of june, gold bullion to the value of $2,697,166.15, in
the form of fine bars suitable for export, was exchanged at the New
York- Assay Office for gold coin, saving to the government the expense
of its coinage, as well as of transporting it to Philadelphia and of the
resulting coin back to New Y"ork. During the months of July, August,
and September there was a further exchange of gold bullion for coin
to the amount of $3,890,833.91, a total of $6,588,000.06 since the passage
of the law^ and up to October 1.

PARTINH AND REEININH.

The deposits of bullion for i^arting and refining were about one mill-
ion of gross ounces more than in the, previous year, resulting chiefly
from increased receipts for that purpose at the New York Assay Office.

The following table shows the gross ounces of bullion sent to the acid
refineries of the coinage mints and the New York Assay Office, and the
ounces of standard gold and silver received :

In the weekly purchases it has been the purpose to obtain not less
than $2,000,000 worth of silver bullion for each month.

Where this has not been the case, it was either on account of the failure
of sellers of silver to deliver their bullion promptly during the month in
which it iras purchased, or from the fact that sufficient silver was not
offered at rates not exceeding the market price. The table of purchases
during the year shows, however, a monthly delivery and coinage averag-
ing over $2,000,000 worth of silver bullion, and a compliance with the
. provisions of the law as far as practicable.

The average price paid dicing the year for silver bullion was $1.02.15
per ounce standard. The average London quotation for silver bullion
of British standard was 51|f pence per ounce, ’equivalent at the par of
exchange to $1.13.623 per ounce fine, or $1.02.26 per ounce standard.
The New York.^elliug price of silver during the year was $1.13.799 per
ounce fine, or $1.02.419 per ounce standard. No offers of silver were

accepted or i^urchases made at rates in excess of tlie^equivalent of the
London price on the date of purchase.

The difficulties heretofore experienced in sni>plying the New Orleans
Mint with silver at market rates have been overcoihe, and purchases of
silver bullion are now made for delivery at that inint at rates little, if
any, in excess of the price paid for delivery at the Philadelphia Mint.
It was therefore deemed expedient to keep the New Orleans Mint well
supplied with silver bullion and employed in the coinage of silver dol-
lars. This enabled the Philadelphia Mint to meet the requirements of
the Treasury and of the public for gold and minor coins, and relieved
it from the necessity of increasing its silver coinage when the high prices
asked for silver bullion at San Francisco prevented the mint at that
place from obtaining a supply.

The Secretary of the Treasury, on the 30th of January, 1882, author-
ized tbe superintendents of the coinage mints to purchase mutilated and
nncurrent silver coin when delivered in sums of $3 and upwards and
to pay, without previous melt or assay, at the rate of $1 per ounce of
silver of standard fineness contained, the coins so purchased to be used
in the coinage of the standard silver dollars. The mutilated and uncur-
rent silver coin px^esented in sums of $3 and upward, from the 1st of
February to June 30, 1882, have amounted, as nearly as can be ascer-
tained, to about $29,000.

The ^ssayers in charge of the United States mint at Denver and of
the assay offices at Helena, Charlotte, Boise, and Saint Louis were au-
thorized, under date of February 7, 1882, to purchase the silver taken
for assay of silver bullion deposited for unparted bars and to pay for
the same in coin at the rate of $1 per ounce of standard silver, and the
bullion thus pui’chased to be transmitted by them, with other bullion,
to the coinage mints, to be used in the coinage of the standai'd silver
dollars.

The profits on the silver bullion coined during the year and credited
to the silver profit fund amounted to $3,440,887.15. Of this sum
$3,438,829.41 were profits on the coinage of standard silver dollars, and
the remainder, $2,057.74, were profits on the fractional silver coined.

Fractional silver coins of the nominal value of $11,313.75 were struck
at the Philadelphia Mint by, the superintendents orders, to enable him
to supply numismatists and others desiring to keep up complete collec-
tions of the coinage.

Of the profits on the coinage of silver $2,554,729.33 were deposited
in the Treasury duxing the year, together with |l,101, 645.43 standing
to the credit of that account at the commencement of the year; $64,026.11
were paid for transportation, and $15,055.99 for wastage and loss on sale
of sweeps, leaving a balance to the credit of the silver profit fund in
the mints, on June 30, 1882, of $807,075.72, which sum has since been
deposited in the Treasury.

The amount of silver dollars put into circulation from the New Or-
leans Mint exceeded the coinage of the year at that mint about $400,000,
while at the Philadelphia Mint it was $3,000,000 less, at the San Fran-
cisco Mint over $9,000,000 less, and at the Carson Mint $200,000 less
than the yearly coinage of these mints respectively.

APPROPRIATIONS, EARNING S, AND EXPENDITURES.

The total amount appropriated for the support of the mints and assay
offices for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, was $1,209,000, of which
amount the sum of $1,176,265.21 was expended. In addition thereto
there was expended from the appropriation contained in the act author-
izing the coinage of the standard silver dollar, passed February 28,
1878, the sum of $137,559;61 on account of the mints, and $2,173.37 at
the Treasury Department, a total of $139,732.98. Of this amount
$10,124.89 was paid for four automatic weighing machines, two of them
to be used at Philadelphia and two at San Francisco.

The total value of the precious metals wasted during the year at the

while bullion of the value of $16,685.28 was returned by the melter and
refiner of the mint at San Francisco in excess of the amount with
which he was charged, and by the melter and refiner at the Kew York
Assay Office of the value of $21,729.15, making a total gain of $38,414.43,
or a net excess over and above the entire amount of bullion wasted of
the value of $1,755.50 ; showing that on the large amount of gold and
silver bullion operated upon at the mints of the United States and the
Hew York Assay Office, there was an absolute gain of over seventeen
hundred dollars.

ordinary operations of the mints, but represents the difference between
the value of the gold and silver contained in sweepings, as determined
by assay, and the price received for the sweeps, which are sold because
the mints, with their inadequate facilities for working such material,
cannot extract gold and silver of sufficient value, less expenses, to equal
the sum which smelters will pay for them.

REFINERY EARNINOS AND EXPENDITURES.

The charges collected during the year for parting and refining bull-
ion, which by law are appropriated for the payment of the expenses of
those operations, amounted to $278,882, of which the sum of $264,609.56
was paid out for expenses.

The net excess of the earnings of the refineries over the expenses
from the first of July, 1876, to June 30, 1882, remaining in thb Treasur3’‘

, oftheUnited States, amounted on the first day of July last to $153,311.80.

This is a very satisfactory exhibit, especially in view of the fact that
the rates charged for parting and refining at some of the mints had been
reduced and were less than in previous years, and shows that the refin-
eries have been more than self-supporting.

The charges for parting and refining collected during the year at each
institution were sufficient to defray the expenditures of those operations,
except at Carson and ITew Orleans. The slight deficiencies at those
mints were occasioned in part by the payments of bills accruing in for-
mer years, and will not, it is believed, necessitate an increase in the
rates of charges. *

ANNUAL- ASSAY.

The annual assay to test the weight and fineness of the coins struck
at the mints during the calendar j^ear 1881 was made at the Philadel-
phia Mint on the second Wednesday of February last, as required by
law. Assays were made and the weights tested of the reserved coins
' from deliveries in each month throughout the year, and the results were
reported b^" the committee on weighing that all the coins weighed are
within the limits of exactness required by law, and that, in fact, very
few vary from the standard by one-half the tolerance”; and by the com-
mittee on assaying that they had taken the gold and silver coins re-
served from the several mints “ and h^ive assayed the same in mass, and
also the individual coins,” and that —

The greatest deviation from the'standard in the coinage examined is far within the
limits allowed by law, and exhibits a remarkable degree of uniformity in mixture,

while there appears a very great perfection of workmanship. An analysis of the cop-
per alloy present shows that it is substantially in accordance with the law and regu-
lations.

Whereupon it was resolved by the commission —

That the assay commission having examined and tested the reserved coins of the
several mints for the year 1881, and it appearing that these coins are within the tol-
erance prescribed by law, the trial is considered and reported as satisfactory.

ESTIMATION OF THE VALUES OF FOREIG-N COINS.

The estimation of the Director of the Mint and the proclamation of
the Secretary of the Treasury, on the 1st day of January, 1882, of the
values of standard coins in circulation of the various nations of the
world will be found in the appendix.

The valuation of foreign coins estimated in the circular of January 1,
1882, was based upon the average price of silver bullion for the last three
months of 1881 to December 29.

The average price was 51.886 pence per ounce British standard, and
the equivalent price 113.71 cents per fine ounce.

Upon this basis the following changes were made in the values of sil-
ver coins from those estimated by the circular of January 1, 1881: The
Austrian florin, from 40.7 cents to 40.6 cents; the Japan yen, from 88.8
cents to 88.7 cents. The -^gourde^^ of Hayti was estimated to be worth
96.5 cents.

EXAMINATIONS AND ANNUAL SETTLEMENTS.

An account was taken at each of the mints and at the Kew York As-
say Office at the close of the fiscal year of the coin, bullion, and other
moneys belonging to those institutions in the hands of the superintend-
ent, and delivered to him by the operative officers.

The annual examinations of the operative officers were superintended
by the Director or a representative of the Bureau, and were found sat-
isfactory, the wastage in no case exceeding the legal limits.

The gold bullion operated upon in the melter and refiner’s depart-
ments in the mints and New York Assay Office amounted to 14,618,071
standard ounces, on which the legal allowance for wastage was 14,618
standard ounces, and the actuaf wastage 835.27 standard ounces. Of
silver bullion 54,540,070 ounces of standard fineness were operated upon,
on which the legal limit of wastage was 81,810 ounces, and the actual
wastage 7,996 ounces.

In the coiner’s departments, 10,616,313 ounces of gold of standard
fineness were operated upon, on which the legal limit of wastage was
5,308 ounces, and the actual wastage 470 ounces. Of silver bullion
47,293j782 ounces were operated upon, upon which the legal limit of
w^astage was 47,293 ounces, and the actual wastage 4,279 ounces.

The total wastage at all the institutions during the year was 1,305.27
ounces of gold, of the value of $24,306.30, and 12,275 ounces of silver, of
the value $12,352.63.

Besides the annual settlements, special examinations were had at the
San Francisco and New Orleans Mints to ascertain the facts in respect
to charges afiecting their management, and the result of the examina-
tions, with the evidence, were submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury.
A special settlement also was made at the close of the calendar year
at the New York Assay Office, having been rendered necessary by rea-
son of the resignation of the superintendent, Thomas 0. Acton, and the
appointment of Pierre 0. Van Wj^ck as his successor.

■REVIEW OF THE MINT SERVICE.

Besides the current office work of this Bureau in supervising the
operations of the mints and assay offices, their contracts, purchases,
and expenditures, in examining their monthly and quarterly accounts,
and their daily, weekly, and monthly reports, their business transac-
tions, coinage,'&c., much time was given to the procuring and compil-
ing of statistical information concerning the production of the precious
metals in the United States and the preparation of a special report
thereon.

At the laboratory of the Bureau 166 deliveries of gold coins and 168
silver coins were tested by assays of the coins forwarded from the
mints for that purpose, and assays were made of ores received at this
office from various portions of the country, the receipts for which,
amounting to $261, were deposited in the Treasuiy.

The business of the mints and assay offices has been conducted with
fidelity and skill, and to the general satisfaction of the public. While
less gold bullion was received and handled than in the preceding year,
the work of the coinage mints and the New York Assay Office in part-
ing, refining, and coining bullion was greater. The receipts of bullion
from the public and deliveries to and from the operative officers involved
transactions and accounts, accompanied by vouchers, which received
careful examination in the Mint Bureau as well as in the accounting
offices of the Treasury Department.

PHILADELPHIA MINT.

At this mint, besides striking a large number of silver coins and an
unprecedented coinage of gold, there was a continuous demand for
minor coins, of which, during the year, 4,400,775 five-cent pieces and
42,461,475 one-cent ifieces were coined. The total number of pieces
coined at the mint in 1882 was 66,236,475, being 11,500,000 more than
in the preceding year.

The demand for small coins, as has been noticed in other countries,
increases with business activity, and is a favorable indication of the
frequency of actual exchanges and of a prosperous condition of the
-country.

A greater amount of gold and silver was operated upon by the melter
and refiner and by the coiner than in any imevious year.

The heavy coinage of gold and of minor coins at the Philadelphia
Mint has continued to require large expenditures, and to defray a con-
siderable portion of the expense of the silver coinage has necessitated
the use of the appropriation contained in the act for the coinage of the
standard silver dollar. It is believed, however, that as the gold coinage
will be diminished, the efficient superintendent of that mint will have
effected, and at the close of the year wall be able to show a considerable
reduction in the expenses of the mint.

SAN FRANCISCO MINT.

This mint at its annual settlement made a favorable exhibit of its
condition and operations, and appeared in all its departments to be in
excellent order. The coiner had a small wastage. The melter and re-
finer’s settlement was quite satisfactory and creditable to him. He re-
turned an excess of $16,685.28 in gold and $1,560.43 in silver above the
amount charged to him.

The wnrk of this mint in coinage w^as about the same as in the previous
year, 13,900,000 pieceshaving been struck in 1882, and 14,234,000 in 1881.
Although the value of the gold coinage in 1882 wms less, the number of

pieces executed was 334,000 greater thau iu 1881, while the silver coiBage^
which was wholly of silver dollars, was $460,000 less.

Some official changes occurred during the year. At the commence-
ment Mr. E. F. White superseded F. X. Gicott as coiner, and the super-
intendency of the mint, which for over four years had been under the
able and careful management of Mr. H, L. Dodge, was at the close of the
year surrendered to Mr. E. F. Burton, who, although previously appointed
and commissioned, preferred not to enter upon duty until after the an-
nual settlement and with the commencement of a new fiscal year.

CARSON MINT.

The difficulty in procuring silver for coinage was less than that ex-
perienced in former years, and coinage operations, which had been pre-
viously suspended, were resumed in the month of October and con-
tinued during the remainder of the yesiw

The refinery was kept open during the whole year for the purchase
of silver and reception of deposits for parting and refining.

The work performed at the Carson Mint, as to the value of the de-
posits, number of pieces, and value of the coinage, was nearly double
that of the j>receding year.

The annual settlement made at the close of the fiscal ye^ir was satis-
factory.

NEW ORLEANS MINT.

Less silver was purchased for coinage at the New Orleans Mint thaui
in the preceding year, and although there was a greater coinage of goldy
the number of pieces and value of the silver coinage was about a mill-
ion and a half dollars less than the previous year.

At the commencement of the year the coiner, Mr. J. W. Helffrich, re-
signed. Mr. B. F. Butler, his assistant, was designated by the Secre-
tary as acting coiner, and had charge of that department of the minfe
until appointment of Mr. F. K. Jones, February 10, 1882, who, as soons
as confirmed, was placed in charge.

NEW YORK ASSAY OFFICE.

Mr, Thomas C. Acton, the superintendent of the New York Assay
Office, whose administration of its affairs for over twelve years had been
characterized by a most faithful, efficient, and economical management^
having been tendered a more responsible official xDOsition, resigned the
superintendency and delivered the office at the close of the calendar year
to his successor, Mr. Pierre 0. Yan Wyck. During the year deposits
amounting to $35,994,087 in gold and $7,168,260 in silver were received*
The silver deposits were nearly $2,000,000 in excess of those of the pre-
ceding year, while the gold deposits were upwards of $63,000,000 less m

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The charges collected for melting, assaying, and stamping. bars were
$1,694.07, and for assays of ores, $2,138, The total earnings of all the
institutions were $4,955.72, some $700 less than in the previous year.

The increased value of the deposits and of the bars manufactured
arose from a greater amount of bullion being received and bars manu-
factured at the Denver Mint and Helena Assay Office, the deposits of
gold at the former having increased from $235,137.15 to $458,847.07 ;
silver, from $3,805.77 to $7,053.02 ; and the value of bars manufactured
from $238,942.92 to $465,900.09.

The growth of business at Helena was, in deposits of gold, from
$568,525.13 in 1881 to $684,475.53 in 1882, and in silver deposits from
$84,314.97 to $145,306.05, and in the value of bars manufactured from
$652,840.10 to $829,781.58.

MONETARY STATISTICS OF THE HNITED STATES.

" Since submitting my last annual report inquiries relative to the pro-
duction, import, export, and consumption of the precious metals, and to
their circulation as money, have been, as heretofore, diligently prose-
cuted, and much valuable information, obtained.

The facts that have been gathered are here classified and summarized,
and the more important tabulated for convenient comparison or refer-
ence.

PRODUCTION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS IN THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1882.

At the close of the calendar year 1881, after an extended review of
the production of gold and silver in the mining districts and counties
in the States and Territories, a careful estimate was made of the total
production of the United States and published in the special report
transmitted by the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress in June last.
I then estimated the total production for the calendar year 1881 to
have been, of gold, $34,700,000, and of silver, $43,000,000; a total of
$77,700,000. The production by States and Territories, was estimated
to have been as follows :

The production of gold had declined and that of silver increased over
their production in previous years. From the deposits made at the
mints and the exports of domestic bullion there appears to have been a
still farther falling off in the production of gold and an increase in that
of silver.

The deposits of domestic gold at the mints and assay offices during
the calendar year 1881 amounted to $34,271,359.46^ and cluring the fiscal
year 1882 to $31,298,511.97, a falling off of about three millions of dol-
lars. This decline appears to have been in the production of the States
on the Pacific slope. The deposits of domestic gold at the San Fran-
cisco and Carson Mints, which amounted to $26,011,017.50 in the calen-
dar year 1881, during the fiscal year amounted to only $22,708,663.44, a
decline of $3,302,354.06,

During the calandar year 1881 the deposits and purchases of domestic
silver were $27,899,213.12, while during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1882, they had increased to $30,956,588.18, a gain of over three millions
of dollars 5 but the exports of domestic silver, which in the calendar
year were reported, at their commercial value, at $12,796,280, were
reduced in the fiscal year to $11,653,547, a decline in the export of
domestic silver bullion, computed atits coining value, of about $1,300,000,
leaving the net gain in the silver production for the year over that of
the preceding year about $1,700,000. Mating allowance for the same
amount of domestic undeposited gold and silver used in the arts during
the fiscal year as in the calendar year, the total production for the fiscal
year may be approximately estimated at $31,500,000 for gold and
$44,700,000 for silver.

CONSUMPTION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS.

As the inquiries prosecuted for three years to ascertain the amount of
gold and silver annually used in the United States in manufactures, the
arts, and prn amen tatioii had resulted in obtaining for the year 1881
sufficient data for future approximate estimates, no circulars were sent
for obtaining information as to the amount used during the last fiscal
year. It was estimated in last year’s report that there were annually
consumed in the United States for industrial purposes $11,000,000 of
of gold and $6,000,000 of silver, of which amounts $5,500,000 of gold and
$5,000,000 of silver were estimated to be domestic bullion.

A report was obtained, as usual, from the New York Assay Office,
which is published in the appendix, and shows the following as the
amount and character of the gold and silver deposited for bars to be
supplied to manufacturers :

gold, $1,500,000, and silver, $870,000 ; and that the increased consump-
tion consisted of gold and silver of domestic production.

For the fiscal year 1882 the consumption, therefore, of the precious -
anetals in the United States for use in the arts, &c., probably exceeded
f 12,000,000 of gold and $7,000,000 of silver, of which $7,000,000 of gold
s>nd $6,000,000 of silver were of domestic production.

COIN CIRCULATION OF THE UNITED STATES.

The total circulation of the United States coin amounted, as nearly
as can be ascertained, on the 1st of Jn]j^ 1882, to $500,000,000 of gold
and $200,000,000 of silver, a total of $700,000,000.

This estimation is based upon the gains to the metallic circulation by
-coinage less recoinage, and imports less exports of United States coin
since 1873, at which time I estimated the circulation of United States
gold coins at $135,000,000, and of United States silver coins at $5,000,000.

The circulation was estimated in my last annual report to have been,
mi the 30th of June, 1881, $439,776,753 of gold and $171,459,766 of silver.

During the year $599,357 of United States gold coin and $127,572 of
United States silver coin were deposited at the mints and remelted.

There were also exported of United States gold coin $29,805,289, and
imported $4,796,630, being an excess of exports over imports of
$25,008,659. Of silver coin the imports were $940,877, and the exports
$423,099, being an excess of imports over exports of $517,778. Sub-
tocting from the total gold coinage of the year the recoinage, the ex-
cess of exports over imports, and the coins used in the arts, not depos-
ited at the mints or assay offices, estimated at $2,700,000 (based on last
yeaFs estimate of $3,300,000 as the total consumiition of such coins),
makes the gain during the year in United States gold coin $61,005,432,
and the total amount in ’ the country on the 1st of J uly, 1882,
$500,882,185.

In like manner, subtracting from the silver the deposits for recoinage,
snd the estimated consumption of $60,000 undeposited silver coins used
in the arts, and adding the excess of imports over exports, makes the
gain to the silver circulation during the year $28,113,594, and the total
^silver circulation of United States silver coin on the 1st of July, 1882,
$199,573,360.

COURSE OF PRICES IN. THE UNITED STATES 1881-1882.

The prices of domestic exports, as indicated by an average of tbe
values declared at the custom-house, shows an advance of 7 per cent, on
the export prices of the previous year. The advance was principally in
the prices of food exports, such as breadstuffs, provisions, live animals,.
&c., which constituted in value a large portion of the total exports.

The prices of 1882, however, remained below the currency prices of
exports in 1870, being an average of 84 per cent, of the average de-
clared prices of the principal commodities in the latter year. As
United States notes were at that period at a discount of 13 per cent.,
the prices of the exports in 1882 were 3 per cent, below the currency
prices of 1870, reduced to the gold standard. A table is also inserted
containing the average yearly prices in^the New York market for the
calendar years 1880 and 1881 of a large number of staple articles, and
the comparative percentage of such prices for the year 1881, on their
prices for the year 1880, and on their average prices for the preceding^
fifty-six years. The quotations for the last two years have been com-
piled semi-weekly from the New York Shipping and Commercial List, tak-
ing for each article, as far as practicable, the same grade and quality
as that used in preparing the table for my last report. The average of
the percentages of the prices of 1881 compared with the prices of 1880
and with the average prices for the fifty-six preceding years also indi-
cate an advance in prices averaging on the prices of the same articles
for the previous year of 10.6 per cent., and on their average prices for
fifty-six years of 2.7 per cent.

MONETARY STATISTICS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

Additional replies to those published in my last and previous annual
reports have been received from our representatives abroad, containing
valuable information in relation to the monetary statistics of foreign
countries, and are given in full in the appendix.* The information which
they contain has enabled me to correct the tables of circulation, coin-
age, and production to later dates.

A condensed statement of the contents of these papers and of the
monetary condition of the countries to which they respectively relate
may be found useful, and is herewith submitted:

GREAT BRITAIN AND COLONIES.

Great Britain and Ireland. — The report of Mr. C. W. Fremantle, the
deputy master of the royal mint of Great Britain, was received at my
office, and found to contain, as usual, much important information, not
qnly in regard to the coinage of the mints of the British Empire, but of
the operations of the mints in other countries.

From his report it appears that no gold coinage was executed during
the year 1881 in Great Britain, but the silver coinage exceeded that of
any previous year except 1872 and 1873, and amounted to £997,128,
equal to $4,852,523, of which £146,175 were transmitted to the British
colonies to replace £67,543 165. M. of worn coin withdrawn. The new
silver coins sent to the colonies in 1880 amounted to £308,940, equal
to $1,503,457, and the worn silver coin withdrawn to £86,425, equal to
^$420,587. The total amount of worn coin withdrawn from circulation
during the year 1881 in the kingdom was £340,286, equal to $1,656,002.
The value of the bronze coinage, pence, half pence, and farthings, at its
nominal value, was £23,405, equal to $113,900.

notes, and 750,000,000 of legal-tender bank notes.

The government is at x>resent taking hack from France the last installment of silver
fractional currency of about 16,000,000 francs, paying for it in five-franc silver pieces.
The amount of five-franc silver pieces coined by Italy is estimated at 380,000,000
francs, of which it is believed about 160,000,000 or 180,000,000 will he oiit of Italy at
the time of the resumption of specie payments. There is, besides, in the country a
large amount of old silver money coined by the past governments, and which it would
he rather difficult to estimate. The government has lately tried to issue some small
quantity of silver pieces of 50 centimes (5d), but they were immediately hoarded for
the payment of custom duties. This would have caused a scarcity of change were it
not for the large quantity of heavy copper money.

No coinage was executed during the years 1880 and 1881. The im-
portation of gold in 1880 is stated as about 13,000,000 crowns=
$3,484,000. The amount exported is not given.

In 1881 there was a loss through excess of exports of gold of about
2,500,000 crowns=$670,000.

The circulation is estimated at the close of the year 1881 to have
been, of gold, 8,000,000 crowns=$2,144,000, with 29,000,000 crowns
=$7,772,000 in the national bank ; of silver, 15,350,000 crowns=$4,113,-
800, and 2,800,000 crowns = $750,400 in the bankj and of bank notes

TURKEY.

General Wallace forwards, under date of the 14th of June of the
present year, a dispatch in relation to the financial condition of the
Ottoman Empire, from which it would appear that it is almost impossi-
ble to obtain any reliable information in relation to the monetary affairs
of that country, for the reasons that no statistics are kept, and that both
the government and banks are solicitous to conceal their affairs. He
gives the product of the two lead minos worked by the government,
from 1880 to June, 1882, as 557,092 drams in silver =$71,44 1, and 2,307 in
gold = $4,918.

The paper money known as “ Caim6^^ has been mostly withdrawn from
circulation, for the reason that no one would accept it.

JAPAN.

The annual report of the commissioner of the imperial mint of Japan
for the year ending June 30, 1881, has been received, and shows the im-
ports of gold and silver to have been —

, * Ounces.

• Gold 25, 063 |518, 052

The coinage of gold was confined to 5-yen pieces, and of silver to
1-yen pieces, as follows : Gold, 98,117 pieces, valued at $490,585 ; silver,
5,089,113 pieces, valued at $4,514,043.

Of copper coins 73,841,406 pieces were struck of a tale value of
1,112,624 yens=$986, 897.5.

SANDAVICH ISLANDS.

An extract from a dispatch from Mr. Comly, minister to the Hawaiian
Islands, states that no mines or mints exist in those islands; that busi-
ness is conducted on a silver basis, and that the principal coins in ciiv
culation are United States trade dollars and French five-franc pieces.

CHINA.

Hon. Joseph B. Angell, minister to China., states in his dispatch that
the Chinese Government collects no statistics in relation to its monetary,
affairs.

MEXICO.

Minister Morgan forwards two dispatches — one under date of Feb-
ruary 8, 1882, and the other June 29, 1882 — relative to the coinage and
movement of gold and silver in Mexico. The importation of gold is
stated as very inconsiderable, being principally that brought by indi-
viduals to defray their personal expenses.

The exportation of gold during the fiscal year 1880 amounted to
$1,401,382, and of silver to $20,137,932, besides $496,437 in ores.

The El Minero Mesicano, of April 13, 1882, publishes the following
'as the coinage of the various mints of the Eepublic of Mexico during
the fiscal years 1879-^80 and ^81, but does not give the values separately
of the different metals coined; in fact the amounts include the bronze
coinage of the period covered :

' AKGENTINK REPUBLIC.

Ed. L. Baker, United States consul at Buenos Ayres, furnishes an in-
teresting article relative to the new coinage law of the Eepublic, pro-
viding that the gold or silver “ peso,’’ or dollar, shall be the unit of value
— the gold dollar to contain 25.1 grains of standard gold, 900 fine, and
the silver dollar 25 grams (385.8 grains), the same weight as 2 half-
dollars of our present coinage. He states that the national mint is now
running day and night with a view to putting the new coins (8 millions
of gold and 4 millions of silver) into circulation as soon as possible.

The government has issued a decree fixing the value of the old coins
and moneys in circulation with respect to the new unit of value. This
is the first authorized metallic currency of the republic, the circulating
Bnedium heretofore having been paper money and coins of gold and
silver of foreign countries.

The bank-notes outstanding June 30, 1881, amoiinted to $37,101,756.
By the terms of the new coinage law all these notes must, within two
years, be withdrawn and replaced by notes corresponding with the new
monetary unit.

BOLIVIA.

Hon. Charles Adams, minister at La Paz, forwards a communication,
dated August 30 of the present year, treating of the coinage, produc-
tion, and consumption of the precious metals in that country during the
year 1881. He states that no gold was coined during the year, but
47,425 kilograms of silver, equal to $1,970,983, were coined at the
national mint at Potosi into 20-cent and 10-cent pieces.

The silver exported amounted to about 500,000 Bolivianos, equal to
$411,500 in coin, and 8,000,000 Bolivianos, equal to $6,584,000 in ores.

The production of the mines was, of gold, about 3,500 ounces.
$72,345; and of silver, 1,100,000 marks, valued at $11,000,000. NTo gold
is in circulation or in reserve in the banks.

The silver circulation of Bolivia on the 31st of December, 1881, is
estimated to have been 6,000,000 Bolivianos, equal to $4,938,000, witli
about 539,000 Bolivianos, equal to $443,597, in the various banks. ' j

mines furuish nearly the entire product, is given as revised for the
years 1879 and 1880, and is brought down to the close of the calendar
year 1881.

For the latter year, based upon estirpates for some of the smaller pro-
ducing countries, the total production of gold was, kilograms, 162,163,
$107,773,157; silver, kilograms, 2,349,689, $97,659,460. This is a slight
increase upon the production stated for 1880, being about one and a
half millions more in gold and three millions in silver.

to be greater than that of any other nation. For the calendar year 1881
more than two-thirds of the yearns gold coinage — $136,387,383 — and over
one-fourth of the total silver coinage — $100,705,821 — were executed at
the mints of the United States.

The coinage for the three years 1879, 1880, 1881, officially obtained^

CIRCULATION OF THE PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES OP THE WORLU.

* A table giving the paper and specie circulation of thirty-four of the
principal countries of the world, total and per capita, has been compiled
from official dispatches and other accessible data.

The paper circulation embraces both bank and government issues
intended to be used as money, and the total amount of gold and silver
coin in the countries, respectively, without deduction for such amounts
as may be held as treasury or bank reserves, and in most cases probably
includes the bullion as well as the coin of the countries.

The total amount of circulation of these countries is $3,825,220,07S
paper, $3,353,673,748 gold coin, $2,182,768,866 silver full legal tender^
$438,000,969 limited legal tender; total specie, $5,974,443,583'; total
circulation, including reserves, $9,799,663,661.

A further table has been prepared stating the government and bank
issues and the reported metallic reserves of gold and silver held in bank
and treasury vaults. The total amount of government paper, issue of
thirty-one countries, given in Table No. XXXII, was $1,183,054,771
and the bank issue $2,642,165,307, a total of $3,825,220,078. The me-
tallic reserves in the treasuries and banks of the same countries, as far
as known, amounted to $1,698,986,763.

An additional table is appended in which the amount of the bank and
treasury reserves is deducted from the total metallic and paper circu-
lation, for the purpose of showing, in thirty-live countries, the total
amount in active circulation, which, outside of the banks and treasuries,,
was $8,100,676,898. The per capita of active circulation in each of the
countries is also given.

I' have again to acknowledge the faithful and efficient services of the
clerks of the Mint Bureau, among whom Messrs. Preston, Leech, and
Eckfeldt are entitled to special mention for their valuable assistance in
preparing tables and compiling and arranging statistical material em-
bodied in this report.

I am, very respectfully,

X^lL.—ASSA Y of corns of JAPAN.

[Translation.]

Legation of Japan,
Washington, 1st, lOfft month, 14 Meiji.

Sir: Under instructions from my government I have again the honor of transmit-
ting to you, for the purpose of ha ving them assayed at the mint of the United States,
a number of cuttings and dips from the coinage of the Japanese mint for the finan-
cial year 1S80-1881. According to the letter from the assayer of the imperial mint, a
copy of which is inclosed for informai.ion, the accompanying packet contains three
five'-yen pyx pieces of gold coin and one gold cutting from bar, and five silver yen
coins and one granulated dip.

It is hardly necessary for me to add that the kindness with which the Treasury
Department has hitherto responded to the wishes of my government is most fully
appreciated.

Accept, sir, the renewed assarance of my highest consideration.

YOSHIDA KIYONARI.

Hon. James G. Blaine,

Seci'etary of State.

Imperial Mint, Assay Deparment, June 29, 1881. -
Dear Sir: Three five-yen and five silver yen coins, selected this morning by Mr.
Yoshihara, vice-minister of finance, from the pieces representing the coinage

of the mint for the financial year 1880-1881, have been individually assayed by me.
Ninety-eight, being the remaining five-yen coins, were melted and cast into a bar. A
cutting was taken from this bar and assayed. Two hundred of the silver yen coins
were melted, a “dip’’ was taken from the molten metal and granulated, and the

granules were assayed ,

The results are as follows :

Gold five-yen coin, August 21, 1880 900. 0

Gold five-yen coin, February 28, 1881 900. 1

Gold five-yen coin. May 5, 1881 - — 900.0

RENEWAL OP THE ACT OP JUNE 14, 1878.

■ f . . ?

The fourth section of the act of June 14, 1878 (20 Stat.j 130), provides
that —

It shall be the duty of the several accounting officers of the Treasury to continue to
receive, examine, and consider the justice and validity of all claims under appropria-

270 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

tions'the balances of whicb have been exhausted or carried to the surplus fund under
the provisions of said section that may be brought before them within a period of five
years. And the Secretary of the Treasury shall report the amount due each claimant
at the commencement of each session to the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
who shall lay the same before Congress for consideration: Provided, That nothing in
this act shall be construed to authorize the re-examination and payment of any claim
or account which has been once examined and rejected, unless reopened in accordance
with existing laws.

The period of five years raentioned in this section will expire
June 14, 1883, before the Forty-eighth Congress will assemble. I re-
spectfully recommend that you will call the attention of Congress to
this subject, as it would seem proper that the provision above cited
should be extended. •

It may be well to consider whether it is not desirable that there should
be a permanent statute authorizing the examination and report to Con-
gress of all "claims under appropriations, the balanced of which have
been exhausted or carried to the surplus fund, which may be brought
before the proper accounting officers within five years after the appro-
priation was niade, or, perhaps, more properly, within five years after
the right of the claimant originated.

DISBURSING OFFICERS.

By existing law, most of the money with which disbursing officers
make payments is placed to the credit, respectively, of these officers
with an assistant treasurer or designated depository of the United
States, and is disbursed on checks to the order of each claimant
entitled to xiayment. Wfien payment is thus made by check, a voucher
is executed to the disbursing officer, and on such vouchers his accounts
are settled. There is generally no settlement of an account by the
accounting officer of the Treasur^^ Department of the money so depos-
, ited. ' : . ‘

It is possible that some, if not many, of the disbursing officers’ checks
may never be presented for payment, and there is no general mode of
verifying the accuracy of the accounts of depositaries with disbursing
officers.

I respectfully call attention to the subject, so that you may consider
whether it is desirable to recommend to Congress that provision be
made for the settlement of such accounts.

Under section 310 of the Eevised Statutes the Secretary of the Treas-
^ury is every year in receipt, of returns from the proper officers or des-
ignated depositaries, reporting outstanding balances to the credit of
disbursing officers or agents which have remained unchanged on the
books of their respective offices for three years.

Generally, in the cases thus reported, the disbursing officers have long
before ceased to act in that capacity, and in many instances their ac-
counts as such officers or agents have been adjusted and closed on the
books of this Department.

Frequently, after a lapse of three years, in consequence of the death
or unknown residence of the late disbursing officer, it is found imprac-
ticable to secure the returns from him, as contemplated by the last
clause of said section, and therefore very difficult to determine to what
fund or appropriation the reported outstanding balance belongs. To
avoid the doubt and difficulty arising in such cases, I respectfully rec-

FIRST COMPTROLLER. . 271

•• . <
ommend that said section 310 be amended by an additional provision,
as follows :

Every disbursing officer of any Department of the Government, on rendering his ac-
count at the end or his term of service, shall report therewith whether or not any
public funds remain standing to his credit, as such officer, in any office or bank or other
depository; and if so, what checks, if any, have been drawn against the same or any
part thereof, which are still unpaid and outstanding.

In this connection I respectfully call attention to the following ex-
tract, taken from the Eeport of the Secretary, dated December 2, 1878:

By an act approved March 3, 1857, public disbursing officers were required to place
all public funds, intrusted to them for disbursement, on deposit with a public depos-
itary, and to draw for the same only in favor of the persons to whom payment was to
be made, excepting that they might check in their own names when the. iiayments
did not exceed twenty dollars.

The enforcement of this provision, according to its letter, was found impracticable,
and the attention of Congress was called to it in the annual reports of the Secretary
for 1857 and 18.58, with a recommendation for its modification.

No action in the matter appears to have been taken by Congress until the act of'
June 14, 1866, reproduced as section 3620 Revised Statutes, was passed. This ap-
peared to supersede the act of 1857, in removing the restrictions as to the method in
which the money was to be drawn ; hut by an act approved February 27, 1877, section
3620 has been amended requiring the checks to be drawn only in favor of the per-
sons to whom payments are to he made.

The object which the law' evidently seeks to accomplish meets the entire approval
of the department, but to carry its provisions into effect would require paymasters
in the Army to draw their checks in favor of the soldiers to be paid, by name, and
paymasters on naval vessels, even during absences for years from the United States, to
pay the officers and men only by drawling checks in their favor, on depositaries in the
United States. . .

The same embarrassment extends to all public disbursements, and the attention of
Congress is called to the matter, with the recommendation that the section be so
amended that disbursements may be made under regulations to be i)rescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury.

The difficulties presented by this statement remain, and hence atten-
tion is called to the subject. See Eeport Secretary of the Treasury of
December 5, 1881, and Eeport of 1856-’57, page 24.

DEPUTY COMPTROLLER,

/The usage in this office, which is probably required by law, has been
that the First Comptroller, when present in person, countersigns all
warrants and signs other official papers. I respectfully recommend
that the D(*puty Comptroller be authorized, under the direction of the
Comptroller, to sign all official papers and countersign warrants, except,
perhaps, “accountable warrants,” which require the signature of the
Secretary of the Treasury himself, when present.

As the duty of signing all official papers is, by law, imx^osed on the
Deputy as Acting Comptroller in case of the Comptrollers absence,
and as the time of the Comptroller, when present, is almost wholly re-
quired for the proper examination of questions of law and matters of
official importance, there would seem to be no ground of objection to
the measure proposed.

Under orders of the House of Eepreseutatives, a volume of the de-
cisions of the Comptroller for the year 1880, and one for 1881, were
printed, and copies will be furnished, fixed in number by law. In ad-
dition to these, fifty copies were distributed to the Departments in
sheets, as originally j)riu ted under tlie authority of the Treasury De-
partment; The Comptroller ordered printed, on his own account and
expense, a limited number of copies, which can, if desired, be furnished

at cost to Departments, or be disposed of otherwise, if Congress, at its
next session, shall so direct, but if not, they will be disposed of by the
Comptroller. -

Tour attention is respectfully invited to the recommendations con-
tained in my last annual report, the propriety of which seems to me to
be confirmed by observation and experience during the past year.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

The current work of the office is in a more advanced condition than
it has previously been since the year 1861, the quantity of delayed cur-
rent accounts having been steadily diminished each quarter year for
several years past, with a corresponding diminution of time between
their rendition and settlement^ and, except in the settlement of the ac-
counts and claims hereinafter specially referred to, the work of the
office has been promptly dispatched during the year.

Owing to the effect of the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in the case of Capt. K. W. Tyler vs, the United States,
rendered at the October term, 1881, which changed the mode of com-
puting the longevity increase payable to officers of the Army, a very
great amount of additional work has devolved upon this office in the
adjustment of Army officers’ accounts.

in addition to the new work thus originated', it Ims been deemed neces-
sary to enter upon the. settlement of the accounts heretofore accrued in
favor of the Soldiers’ Home under the act of March 3, 1851 (section 4818,
Eevised Statutes), which grants ~to that institution all stoppages and
fines adjudged against soldiers, all forfeitures on account of desertions,
and the custod}^ of the money of deceased soldiers remaining unclaimed
for three years. It is estimated that the amount due to the Soldiers’
Home on these accounts exceeds a million dollars, and that the settle-
ment of these two classes of accounts will require labor more than
equivalent to that of eight experts for a pexfod of one year.

It also hapixens that the number of soldiers’ bounty claims transmit-
ted to this office for settlement during the last ten months is much
in excess of those transmitted for similar periods within several years
past. '

The pressing necessity for early settlement of these three classes of
claims has made it necessary to place upon them nearly all the force
heretofore employed in the current work of settling paymasters’ Ac-
counts ; thirteen out of the fourteen men on duty in the Army pay divi-
sion of the office being at present engaged thereon.

Whatever means can be lawfully taken to increase the number of ex-
perts in the revision of Army pay accounts thus accumulating in the
office will be greatly to the advantage of the service.

296 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

provided, show a further increase of clerical labor required over that
shown in my report for fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, and this clearly
indicates the necessity for an increase in the number of clerks assigned
to this bureau.

In view of the fact that the official work of this office gradually in-
creased for twenty years, as was shown in detail in official report of
1880, and the further fact that this increase of labor continued during
the fiscal years 1881 and 1882, the necessity for greater clerical force is
more clearly demonstrated.

The work for the fiscal year is unprecedented in the history of the
bureau.

The increased number of appropriations for erection of public builds
ings and for miscellaneous purposes indicates larger requirements upon
the office for the fiscal. year ending June 30, 1883.

For the foregoing reasons, and for reasons stated more fully in my
last report, I respectfully and earnestly ask for an additional chief of
division and for at least three clerks of class three.

While I well know that one additional cleric beyond the necessities of
the public service in any bureau or office is an injury to the service as
well as a needless expenditure of the public moneys, I am convinced
that the increase now asked grows out of a necessity pressing lipon this
office; and I would be derelict in duty should I not call attention to the
condition of the work demanding additional clerical force.

In closing this report, I desire to commend the deputy auditor and
the chiefs of divisions, through whose diligence, energy, and care the
increased work of this bureau has been so promptly dispatched during
the fiscal year.

I wish to renew to them and to the clerks and employes of this office
expressions of esteem and confidence.

I am, most respectfullv, your obedient servant,

E. M. KEYN'OLDS,

First Auditor.

Sixty-three transcripts of Indian agents’ accounts have been for-
warded to the Second Comptroller for transmittal to the Department of
Justice in order that suits may be entered against the agents and their
sureties. The balances declared to be due the United States in these
sixty three cases amount to more than $1,000,000, and consist to a
great extent of items disallowed by the accounting officers for reasons
not necessarily incompatible with the personal integrity of the agents
to be sued.

During last year the sum of $8,783.06 was recovered by suit and
otherwise in fall settlement of the accounts of certain agents no longer
in commission. Letters written, 4,834.

PAY AND BOUNTY DIVISION.

This division is charged with the settlement of all claims for bounty
and arrears of pay, except such claims as are tiled by officers of the
Array, still in service, for increased longevity allowance under the re-
cent decision of the United States Supreme Court — these claims having
been assigned to the Paymasters’ Division. As will be seen by the
subjoined tabular statements, fair progress has been made in the ex-
amination and settlement of claims during the past year:

BI^nSION FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF FRAUD.

On July 1, 1881, 7,823 cases remained on hand; 380 new cases have
been received during the year, making a total of 8,203 before the division.
Of these, 6,135 were examined and partially investigated; 1,317 were

The sum of $4,311.66 has been recovered by suit and otherwise, and

obtained, but are not yet satisfied; $1,242.20 has been secured to claim-
ants from persons unlawfully withholding it, and $226 has been returned
to the Treasury by the Pay Department in cases of colored soldiers.

Abstracts of material facts have been made in 478 cases ; 40 cases
were prepared for suit and criminal prosecution and transmitted to the
Department of Justice, and 5,655 letters were written.

I would again invite attention to a matter that has been referred to
in half a dozen annual reports, namely: The necessity for some act on
on the part of Congress looking to an adjustment of the claims of those
colored soldiers w'ho allege that they were defrauded out of their arrears
of pay and bounty by the subordinate agents of the late Freedmen^s
Bureau.

PROPERTT DIVISION.

The work of this division is now confined to the examination and set-
tlement of the quarterly returns of clothing, camp and garrison equip-
age, rendered by all officers of the Army who are responsible for that
description of property. These returns, by which upward of one mill-
ion dollars worth of property is accounted for annually, are not ex-
amined by any other accounting officer, so that the action of this office
is final.

On July 1, 1881, 6,241 returns were on hand unsettled; 3,569 have
since been received; 4,652 have been examined, and 4,132 have been
settled, leaving 5,678 on hand June 30, 1882. Charges amounting to
$4,178.84 have been made against officers for property not satisfactorily
accounted for, and $1,235.81 has been collected on that account. Letters
written, 2,419; letters recorded, 906.

DIVISION OF INQUIRIES AND REPLIES.

In addition to the 12,937 inquiries from various bureaus which have
been answered during the year, as shown by the subjoined statement,
the following miscellaneous work was performed in this division : 412
rolls and vouchers copied and verified ; 3,097 accounts-current, affida-
vits, abstracts, certificates of disability, final statements, furloughs,
general orders, letters, statements of differences, &c., copied for the
office; 13,790 descriptive lists briefed and filed; 3,557 signatures com-
pared, and 4,131 letters written.

Overpayments amounting to $8,696.50 have been discovered and re-
ported for collection, and the sum of $968.82 on account of overpay-
ments previously reported has been recovered and repaid to the appro-
priations from which the money was drawn.

PROCEEDS OF INDIAN LABOR. .

For several years past questions have arisen from time to time, in the
settlement of Indian agents’ accounts, as to the proper disposition of
moneys derived from the product of Indian labor, pasturage on Indian
lands, &c. In June, 1876, the matter was referred to the First Comp-
troller (Hon. B. W. Tayler), who said : In my opinion, receipts for the

product of labor of Indians and for use and occupaucj' of their lands
are not public moneys, within the meaning of section 3,618of the Revised
Statutes, which are to be covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous
receipts. If such moneys should be covered into the Treasury they can-
nqt be withdrawn except on appropriations made by law. While it is
probable such moneys may, under the direction of the Department of
the Interior, be expended for the benefit of the Indians, I am not aware
of any law which provides for it. If the Secretary of the Interior should
deem it proper, I think Congress would direct the mode of expendi-
ture.’’ The Secretary of the Treasury concurred in this view and recom-

meDded to the Secretary of the Interior that Congress be requested to
authorize the deposit of such funds to the credit of an appropriation for
the benefit of the particular tribe or band of Indians entitled thereto.
On October 18, 1876, the Secretary of the Interior wrote as follows to
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs : ^‘The money may be expended
under your personal direction, but, as a rule, when the money is re-
ceived for the sale of produce, the result of the labor of any individual
Indian, it should be expended for his sole benefit, and if of any consid-.
erable number less than a baud it should be expended for their benefit,
so that in all cases the Indian shall receive the benefit of his or her per-
sonal industry.^’ In 18s() the Second Comptroller and Second Auditor
agreed that in the settlement of Indian agents^ accounts all such
monej^s should be charged and credited under the special caption of
“Indian moneys — proceeds of labor, &c.”

There can be no doubt as to the justice andequit,tof treating these
moneys in the manner indicated above, but it needs -the authority of
law, and to that end I suggest that the subject be brought to the at-
tention of Congress.

MILEAOE OF ARMY OFFICERS.

Under section 1273 of the Revised Statutes, as amended by the act
of July 26, 1876 (19 Stat., 100), officers of the Army traveling under
orders, without troops, are allowed eight cents per mile, provided they
have not been furnished with transportation in kind by the United
States. I suggest that the law be further amended so that mileage
sliall not be allowed when an officer travels on a free pass. Officers o
the Ti'easury and Interior Departments, and I presume of all other Ex-
ecutive Departments who present accounts for traveling expenses, are re-
quired to make affidavit that “ no part of the travel has been under any
free pass on any railway, steamboat, or other conveyance.” It is neither
just nor reasonable that officers of the Army should be paid eight cents
per mile while traveling on free passes. In such cases they should be
placed on equality with thecivil officers of the United States, and should
be reimbursed to the extent of their actual and necessary expenses,
and no more. In analogy to what is demanded, under oath, from
Treasury and Interior Department officials. Army officers should be
required to certify on honor that charges for traveling expenses were
actually paid or incurred, and that no part of the travel for which thc3^
claim mileage was made on a free pass on any railway, steamboat, or
other conveyance.

® THE soldiers’ HOME.

By section 4818 of the Revised Statutes all forfeitures on account of
desertion and all moneys belonging to the estates of deceased soldiers,
remaining unclaimed for three years subsequent to the death of such
soldiers, are set apart and appropriated for the support of the Soldiers’
Home. I find that twenty-one years’ arrearages are due said Home on
account of moneys forfeited by those deserters from the regular Army
who were never heard of after desertion. With a few trifling excep-
tions the accounts of such deserters have not been settled. When the
men were dropped from the rolls of the Army such data as were neces-
sary to an adjustment of their pay accounts were entered on the muster-
rolls, and there the matter ended. There is also a large sum due the
Home on account of unclaimed money belonging to the estates of soldiers

308 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

wbo died prior to July 1, 1879. The aggregate amount payable to the
Home from these two sources is estimated at upward of one million dol-
lars. It is clearly the duty of the accounting officers of the Treasury
Department to adjust and settle the accounts of deceased soldiers and
deserters so that the Home may receive what the law has set apart and
, appropriated for it's support, but the necessary clerical force is lacking.
I estimate that it would take six experienced clerks five years in this
office, and a proportionate number for the same period in the Second
Comptroller’s Office, to bring the work up to date.

In view of all the circumstances, and considering especially the length
of time that the Soldiers’ Home has been deprived of a portion of its
legitimate income, I venture to suggest a plan by which an equitable
settlement between the United States and the Home can be arrived at
without the expense and delay of examining and adjusting the pay ac-
counts of deceased^soldiers and deserters, namely: Iffiat Congress shall
appropriate a reasonable amount, say one million dollars, to be depos-
ited in the Treasury in accordance with the provisions of section 8 of
Senate bill No. 1821, prescribing regulations for the Soldiers’ Home,
and now pending in Congress ; said amount to be accepted by the Home
in full discharge of all obligations on the part of the United States,
under section 4818 of the Ee vised Statutes, up' to and including June
30, 1879.

A STATUTE Ol^ LIMITATION NEEDED.

Adverting to the remarks in my last annual report in regard to a
statute of limitation, I again invite attention to the subject as one that
calls for early and favorable consideration. There exists a continually
increasing necessity for such a law. It is required, not that the payment
of just debts may be evaded, but that the public treasury may be pro-
tected from unscrupulous claimants and from the vexatious demands of
persons who, having received all they are entitled to, make new appli-
cations in the hope, apparently, that something in their favor may turn
-up” on a re-examination of their claims, or that the evidence of former
payment may not have been preserved. Of the claims growing out of
the war of the rebellion only a small percentage of those last presented
possess either merit or validity, and that })ercentage is diminishing with
the lapse of time, while the labor of examination and investigation is
materially increasing. A statute of limitation that would bar and pre-
clude from settlement all claims growing out of the late war not pre-
sented within two years frbin the date of the enactment, and all other
claims not presented within six years from the time they accrued would,
I believe, be regarded with favor by all the accounting officers of the
Treasury Department. Without such a statute no child n6w living will
ever see the day when the presentation for payment by the government
of claims of the class first mentioned will have ceased.

CONDITION OF THE PUBLIC BUSINESS.

The condition of the public business intrusted to my charge is shown
by the following comparative statement of accounts and claims received,
disposed of, and remaining on hand in the fiscal years 1881 and 1882:

It will be seen by the foregoing statement that, as compared with last
year’s record, there was an increase of 5,483 in the number of accounts
and claims received, and of 5,349 in the number disposed of; and a de^
crease of 1,789 in the number on hand. While the business of the office
is thus shown to be in a satisfactory condition in the aggregate, the
state of disbursing accounts calls for some explanation. The recruiting,
medical, ordnance, and miscellaneous disbursing accounts are promptly
rendered to this office and are settled with sufficient dispatch to prevent
accumulation. The accounts of Indian agents have temporarily accu-
mulated, there being 185 on hand June 30, 1882, against 24 on hand
June 30, 1881. This increase is accounted for by the fact that an un-
usually large number was received from the Indian Office too late to be
taken up for settlement before the close of the fiscal year. The accounts
of paymasters have unavoidably accumulated since June 30, 1880, on
which date only .130 remained unexamined. On June 30, 1881, the num-
ber had increaseid to 312, and on June 30, 1882, it had still further in-
creased to 502. This increase is due to two causes, namely, the insuffir
cient clerical force of the paymasters’ division, and the complex nature
of the accounts, which now consist, not only of the ordinary bi-monthly
muster and pay rolls of companies and detachments, final payments to
discharged soldiers, and monthly pay accounts of commissioned officers,
but also of mileage accounts and vouchers for telegrams, expenses of
witnesses before courts martial, &c. The proper examination of mileage
^ and telegram accounts adds very materially to the work of the auditing
clerks. The delay in the settlement of paj^mavsters’ accounts now aver-
ages two years, so that a paymaster does not know how he stands offi-
cially on the books of the Treasury Department un til two years after he
has rendered his accounts, neither does the Treasury Department know
until after the same lapse of time whether the paymaster has properly
accounted for the large sums of money advanced to him for disburse-
ment. The law requires that ^^the Secretary of the Treasury shall
cause all accounts of the expenditure of public money to .be settled
within each fiscal year” (section 250 Eevised Statutes), and it would
seem to be due to the paymaster and the sureties on his official bond as

well as to the United States, that some measure should be adopted which
will enable the. accounting officers to settle these accounts within the
time prescribed by the statutes. The following case is given as a fair
sample of the delay that occurs in the three offices through which an

) Examined in Second Auditor’s office and
sent to Second Comptroller for revis-
{ ion, April 27, 1881. Revised in Second
1 Comptroller’s office and returned to
Second Auditor to be stated, October
12, 1881, Stated by Second Auditor
November 10, 1881. Ceifified by Sec-
ond Comptroller, January 13, 1882.

The average delay in each office was as follows: Paymaster-GeneraPs
office, 3f months; Second Auditor's office, lOf months; Second Comp-
trollers office, months.

The comparatively slight progress that has been made toward clearing
off accumulated work is chiefly attributable to the repeated demands
upon this office for clerks to assist in other bureaus of the Department.
Emergencies will continue to arise when the power given to the head of
a Department by section 166 of the Eevised Statutes to alter the dis-
tribution of the clerks allowed by law and detail clerks credited to one
bureau for service in another must be exercised. At one time, in com
sequence of an unusual amount of labor suddenly imposed upon the
Loan Division and EegistePs office, no less than sixteen clerks on the
pay-rolls of this office were detailed for work elsewhere. At the present
time tive are so absent, and the average for the last fiscal year was at
least five. All these were experienced and efficient clerks, for such are
always asked for, and none others taken or received.

While the clerical force was nominally the same, 5,349 more accounts
andclaims were disposed of than during the preceding year, and the num-
ber unsettled diminished by 1,789. The additional work of five efficient
and exjjerienced clerks would have largely increased these figures. hTo
bureau of the department needs more than this the entire force accorded
to it bylaw. Of the38,440 unsettled accounts and claims^ a very large pro-
portion has been pending more than five years. It is not surprising, then,
that claimants become importunate and not unfrequently abusive in
their correspondence. They are entitled to a settlement, and it is ex-
tremely difficult to give a satisfactory reason for the delay. At the
present time, so far as I am aware, there is no extraordinary demand
upon any of the bureaus of the Treasury Department, and if more clerical
force is needed it should be supplied by legislation. The business of
this office is pressing. It has never to my knowledge had any assistance
from other bure<aus; certainly not without according an equivalent by
an exchange, and it is fairly entitled to its legal comiilement of clerks.

The facts herein set forth as to the work performed during the year
are sufficiently indicative of the faithfulness and efficiency of the clein-
cal force of the bureau.

Very respectfully,

O. FEEEISS, Andiior.

SUBSISTENCE DIVISION.

The subsistence division examines the accounts of all commissaries
and acting commissaries in the. Army, whose duties are to purchase the
provisions and stores necessary for its subsistence, and see to their proper
distribution. These commissaries render monthly money accounts, with
proper vouchers for disbursements of the funds intrusted to them, to-
gether with a provision-return, showing the disposition of provisions
and stores purchased or derived from other sources. These accounts
are received through the Commissary-General of Subsistence, and are
examined and audited in this division. The money accounts and vouch-
ers, together with a certified statement of the result of said examina-
tions, are then referred to the Second Comptroller of the Treasury for
revision. Upon their return from the Comptroller, with the settlement
approved, the officers are notified of the result, and called upon to adjust
or explain any omissions or errors that may liave been discovered. The .
money and provision accounts, together with the papers belonging;^
thereto, are then^placed in the settled files for future reference, and re-
main permanently in the custody of this office. The engineer branch is
engaged in the examination of the accounts of officers and agents of the
Engineer Department, who, under the direction of the Chief of Engi-
neers of the Army (except the Superintendent of the Military Academy
at West Point, whose disbursements are directed by the Inspector-Gen-
eral), disburse moneys out of the various appropriations, now 248 in
number, made from time to time by Congress for works of a public na-
ture, which may be classed under the following heads, viz: The pur-
chase of sites and materials for and construction and repairs of the
various fortifications throughout the United States; construction and
repairs of roads, bridges, bridge-trains, &c., for armies in the field ; sur-
veys on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts ; examination and surveys of
the northern and western lakes and rivers ; construction and repairs of
breakwaters ; repairs and improvement of harbors, both on sea and lake
coasts; improvement of rivers, and purchase of snag and dredge boats
for the same; and the expenses of the Military Academy at West Point.

There have been added to the files during the year new settlements
as follows, viz: Miscellaneous claims, 3,505; inonej^ accounts of disburs-
ing officers of the Army, 1,463; accounts of agents for paying Army
pensions, 227 ; property returns of Army officers, 2,298; making a total
of 7,493. A portion of the old settlements have been rearranged and
relabeled, and a large number of mutilated abstracts have been repaired.
All the records are now systematically arranged, and the old rooms are
entirely filled. The room formerly occupied by the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, and assigned to this office, is not yet half filled, and it
will suffice for at least three years. The records are in a'godd state of
preservation. Four clerks have been constantly employed in arrang-
ing and keeping the files in good condition.

There were eight lady copyists employed in this office during the year.
The number of pages copied and compared was as follows, viz: Mis-
cellaneous papers, 17,780 pages; difference sheets, 1,480; letters, 5,575;
total, 23,835. The papers received for copying and registered, were:
Miscellaneous, 3,588; difference sheets, 480; total, 4,068.

Under the provisions of section 886 of the Kevised Statutes, in cases
where suit is instituted to collect money due from pension agents, the
transcripts can be certified only by the Eegister of the Treasury,
who has nothing whatever to do either with the settlement of said ac-
count or the custody of the same after settlement, and who can have no
knowledge respecting the correctness of the transcript, except that
gained from the Third Auditor. The Third Auditor is also without au-
thority to certify transcripts for suit against failing contractors and
other persons charged upon the books of his office. To remedy this
defect in the law I respectfully suggest that section 886 of the Revised
Statutes ought to be so amended as to provide that upon the trial of a
suit against any person, on a contract with the United States, express
or implied, or against any person accountable for public money, or the
sureties of such person, a transcript from the books and proceedings of
the Auditor of the Treasury Department, charged with the examina-
tion and settlement of the account with such person or persons, certi-

fieri by the Auditor and authenticated under the seal of the Treasury
Department shall be admitted on the trial of such suit as evidence of
the balance due to the United States, and be entitled to the same degree
of credit which would be due to the original papers or records if pro-
duced and authenticated in court.

By the act of Congress approved June 23, 1874, and the acj of Con-
gress approved March 3, lb75, authority is given the Secretary of War
to pay the expenses of operating and keeping in repair the telegraph
lines constructed and operated by the War Department in Texas, New
Mexico, the Territory of Arizona, &c., out of any moneys received for
dispatches sent over said lines, and any balance remaining after the
payment of such expenses must be covered into the Treasury as a mis-
cellaneous receipt. Under the construction placed by the accounting
officers upon the several acts making appropriations for the construc-
tion, maintenance, operating, and keeping in repair the several tele-
graph lines under the control of the War Department, all funds received
from ^the public for the transmission of private dispatches (excepting
receipts from line extending from Bismarck, Dak., to Fort Ellis, Mont.)
may be used by the Wiir Department as hereinbefore indicated, instead
of making deposit of the same in the Treasury, and said sums enter into
the gross amount disbursed by the Signal Bureau of the War Depart-
ment during a given fiscal year, but do not constitute any portion of the
sums specifically appropriated by Congress in the usual manner, such
funds having never been in the Treasury, thereby showing an excess of
expenditures over amoun ts appropriated by Congress for that particular
service. Section 3617 Revised Statutes, second edition, provides that
the gross amount of all moneys received from whatever source for the
use of the United States, except as otherwise provided in section 3618,
shall be paid by the officer or agent receiving the same, into the Treas-
ury at as earl3^ a day as practicable, without any abatement or deduct-
ion on account of salary, fees, costs, charges, expenses, or claim of any
description whatever. Receipts from these telegraph lines are not em-
braced within the provisions of section 3618, and are not exceptions to
the general law bearing upon the subject.

I think it requires no argument to show the wisdom of a provision of
law which keeps the expenditure of the public revenue entirely under
the control of Congress; and I am of opinion that a wise policy dictates
that every dollar expended for the support of the government in all its
branches should be traced directly to the Treasury, and the authority
under which it was drawn therefrom. Inasmuch, therefore, as there
appears to be a conflict between section 3617 of the Revised Statutes
and the acts recited, I would respectfully suggest the propriety of legis-
lation requiring all moneys received for the transmission of private dis-
patches over any and all of the lines owned or operated by the general
government, to be deposited in the Treasury.

I respectfully renew my recommendation in regard to a statute of
limitation. Such statutes are no longer looked upon with disfavor by
courts or legislative bodies, and provisions of this kind respecting suits
between individuals are, I believe, nearly universal. That which is

(everywhere conceded to be wise and just as between citizens of a State
can but be considered fair and just as between the citizen and the State*
Few claims that are fair and honest fail of presentation within six years
from their origin, and the claim^int who waits longer, if laboring under
no legal disability, should be barfed, in my opinion. One thing is "cer-
tain, no one can be familiar with the business of this office for any pe-
riod, however brief, without being thoroughly convinced that such a

limitation would be of great value as a protection to the public Treas-
uiy, would remove a great temptation from the viciously inclined, and
would give much needed relief to the Executive Departments.

I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the general good character,
intelligence, and diligence of the persons employed in this bureau, and
commend them for the faithful manner in which they have discharged
their duties.

REPORT

OF

THE FOURTH AUDITOR OF THE TREASURY.

Treasury Department,

Fourth Auditor’s Office,
Washington^ Hovemher 1882.

Sir: In accordance with the law requiring the Auditor charged with
the examination of the accounts of the Department of the Navy to report
annually, on the first Monday in November, to the Secretary of the
Treasury, the application of the money appropriated for the Navy De-
partment, I have the honor to submit the following tabular statements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, with such comments and expla-
nations as they seem to require at my hands.

Disbursing officers in foreign waters, as authorized by law, make their
payments from a fund (which has been drawn from the Treasury under
a ‘‘general account of advances,”) charging each particular payment to
its proper appropriation, subject to revision here. Monthly statements
of these expenditures are made to this office. Many of them, of course,
are not received until weeks, in some cases months, after the close of
the fiscal year, but all were in when the table immediately following
was made up, and which is designed to exhibit the several appropria-
tions made by Congress, and the expenditures with which they are prop-
erly chargeable, as shown by the reports of the officers who have dis-
bursed the money. Pay officers at home draw money under the respec-
tive heads of appropriation, keeping in hand sufficient sums to meet
current liabilities, and returning unavailable balances to the Treasury,
as required by law. Appropriations with balances to their credit will
still be drawn upon to meet liabilities lawfully incurred during the fiscal
year. Payments of the lattqr character are shown in this table where
expenditures under appropriations for years prior to 1882 are mentioned.
It will be observed that the aggregate payments during the year are a
little less than the aggregate of the appropriations for 1882. Some
appropriations have been overexpended, some deficiencies have already
been made good by appropriations, while others remain for the future
consideration of Congress. A deficiency not made good by a subsequent
appropriation must fall at last upon the continuous appropriations — to
wit. Pay of the Navy and the Marine Corps. To the credit of these
appropriations there were standing at the beginning of the fiscal year:
Pay of the Navy, $1,747,521.73, and Pay of the Marine Corps, $798, 7i2.25.
These sums have been added to their respective appropriations in the
following table, making the amounts available for the year for pay of
officers and men :

Pay ofiftcers are instructed to draw on the Secretary of the Navy
when such bills can be as advantageously sold as those drawn on Lon-
don. It will be seen that the drafts on the Secretary during the past
year were very considerably increased over those of the two previous
years. In the autumn of 1881, Paymaster Foster sold in Yokohama,
Japan, bills to the amount of $156,000 on the Secretary, and received
$771.82 naore than he would had the same amount been sold on Lon-
don. The condition of the market was rather exceptional at that time,
due largely to the fact that Loudon was sending large sums to New
York to pay the balance of trade then in our favor. It seems probable
that conditions which will be favorable to the sale of United States bills
will increase, as our own trade is extended to distant nations, and as
the balance of trade is favorable to us in our ti*ansactions with European
countries. London is still the money center, the world’s clearing-house,
and is likely to remain so for many years to come. Our progress in
that direction is not very rapid, but it must in the end be sure. The
above tables are indications pointing that way.

In accordance with the suggestion made in my report two years ago
some of the pay officers are in the habit of sending with their report of
sales clippings of market reports in the daily papers of even date, show-
ing that they have obtained the highest market rates, or even better at
times when active competition has been invited. The following ex-
tract from a letter of Paymaster Foster, written at Yokohama, Japan,
February 10, 1882, will illustrate this :

I inclose a cutting from the Japan Gazette, of Yokohama, Japan, of February 9,
1882 (evening edition), showing the rate of exchange on the day of sale for silver yen,
in which the bill was negotiated. The published bank selling rates were 3s. 8^d.
sterling for bank bills on demand on London, and 90 cents United States gold, on
New York, per silver yen. Bids were requested from five banks, and the best rates
obtainable were 3s. 8|d. sterling, and 91 cents, respectively, per silver yen. The’ ster-
ling exchange shows but a reasonable difference between the buying and selling iDiice,
but on Washington exchange the margin is larger, owing to the expected rise in
exchange between New York and London, on account of the close of the American
export season. The bill was drawn on London, that rate being more favorable by
$34.02, United States coin, and it will probably continue so for several months.
Washington exchange was more favorable from September, 1881, to January, 1882,
inclusive.

ACCOUNT WITH SELIGMAN BROTHERS.

A commission of 1 per cent, is paid to Seligman Brothers, London, for
disbursements made by them. Their commissions for the year amounted

to $14,760.36. They pay 4 per cent, interest on daily balances remain-
ing on deposit with them ; and receive 5 per cent, interest on advances
they make. The interest paid by them during the year was $4,969.56;
ami that received $1,650.27, making the net interest received by the de-
partment $3,319.29. Money is tranferred to London from New York by
means of sixty-day bills. Exchange was favorable during the greater
part of the year, and the net gain from this source was $7,220.16.

THE PUBLIC CREDIT.

I have respectfully to suggest in reference to the work of the Lon-
don fiscal agents that it could be equally well done by one of the Navy
Department's own disbursing officers, thereby sa^dng the commission
now paid, and adding otherwise but little to current expenses. Such a
change would also comport with the dignity and character of the Gov-
ernment, which should be able to transact its business at home and
abroad by the agency of its own citizens and officers. There ai*e in the
pay corps of the Navy men of ample experience and ability for such a
trust, also of high and unquestioned character. If this suggestion should
not be thought feasible, then at least the commission paid should be re-
duced to not more than one-half of what it now is. One-half of 1 per
cent, would be ample compensation for paying out this money. At the
time the present commission was adopted, forty years ago or more, the
credit of the coun try was not very high, and it needed the name of a bank-
ing house to make its paper current. .Upon this point it is instructive
to refer to the annual message of President Tyler, of December, 1842.
Speaking of an effort of the Government to make a small loan he says :

After a failure to do ao in the American market, a citizen of high character and
talent was sent to Eurox^e with no better success ; and thus the mortifying sx>ectacle
has been x>resented of the inability of this government to obtain a loan so small as not
in the whole to amount to more than one-fourth of its ordinary annual income, at a
time when the governments of Europe, although involved in debt, and with their sub-
jects heavily burdened with taxation, readily obtain loans of any amount at a greatly
reduced rate of interest.

In 1844, Benjamin E. Curtis, late justice of the Supreme Court of tbe
United States, published in the North American Eeview a very able and
eloquent article on the importance of maintaining the public faith, in
.which he refers to this attempt to borrow money, saying:

It was offered on terms most advantageous to the creditor — terms which in former
times would have. been eagerly accex>ted, and after going begging through all. the ex-
changes of Europe, the agent gave up the attempt to obtain money in despair. It is
impossible to believe that any capitalist refused to lend his money because he doubted
the ability of the United States to x>ay their debts. Nor is it credible that the mere
failure of a few of the State governmeots to meet their engagements would have pro-
duced this extraordinary effect. It is tbe truth, and it should sink into the heart of
every American, that this loan was refused because Europe doubted the honor of this
country.

It can be readily understood that, at that time, a draft on a respect-
able Loudou bank was a great deal better than a draft ou the Govern-
ment of this country. It is unnecessary to say that all this has changed.
Our public credit does not now require the support of auy private firm
or corporation, and it is not good economy to continue paying for that
which we no longer need.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

war with Mexico, and amount to the sum of $2,672.70. There had been pre-
viously settled of these claims 1048, and payments made of $43,501.68.

The act just referred to provides that the gratuity is to be paid sub-
ject to the limitations of the act of July 18, ,1848. As has been previ-
ously stated in one of my reports, that law was passed for the exclusive
benefit of persons who were employed in the military service during the
Mexican war, and limited the payment to those who “served out their
term of engagement, or have been or may be honorably discharged,’^
and to the widows, children, &c., of those “who have been hilled in
battle, or who died in service, or who, having been honor ably discharged^

' have since died , or may hereafter die, without receiving the three months’
pay.” The term honorably discharged, as used in the law, axjplied to
the enlisted men and to the volunteer officersof the Army Avho received
an honorable discharge when mustered out at the close of the war, or
when their services AA^ere no longer required. It will be seen, therefore,
that the “limitations” of the law of 1848 necessarily excluded those
officers of the HaA^y and Marine Corps who resigned their positions or
remained in the service, and also the heirs of those Avho resigned or
died in the serAuce after the 19th of July, 1848. Bills haA^’e been intro-
duced designed to change the act of 1879 so that its benefits may be
shared by all, whether in the regular or volunteer NaA’^y, who jiarti-
cipated in the Mexican AA^ar and were not discharged or dismissed for
dishonorable conduct during its continuance; but theyhave made little
or no progress, and the matter remains in statu quo.

MILEAGE FOR TRAVEL ABROAD.

Apparently from the foundation of the Navy, certainly from 1835, it
had been the practice to pay mileage for traA^el at home and actual ex-
penses abroad. In 1874 all mileage was abolished by act of Congress.
In 1876 mileage was re-established for travel in the Navy, and under the
advice of the Attorney-General the old practice of paying actual ex-
penses abroad Avas continued. The question of the legality of this prac-
tice was tested in the case of Temple vs. the United States, and decided
by the United States Supreme Court against the defendants. Of the
above-settled claims 253, amounting to $63,254.94, Avere adjusted in ac-
cordance with this decision. An a&itional number haA^e been adjusted
and paid since the close of the fiscal year, and others continue to be re-
ceived. At the late session of Congress a proAusion was added to the
naval appropriation bill giving legal sanction to Avhat had been so long
the practice — namely, the payment of actual expenses only for travel
abroad. Claims for mileage, arising under the law of 1835 (in force
until 1874), are still pending in the Court of Claims. A large number
have also been received by this o^ffice, but no action will be taken until
a final decision has been reached in the courts.

PAYMENTS TO MACHINISTS.

Of the above-settled claims 47, amounting to $28,764, were allowed
under the act of June 16, 1880, giving gratuities to discharged machin-
ists in lieu of i‘e-eulistment, one-third of one year’s pay for each good-
conduct badge, not to exceed three in number. A fair proportion of
the claimants have three of tliese badges, entitling them to a year’s
extra pay, $918. There have been reported preAdously 51 of these set-
tled claims, amounting to $27,540. Claims under this act are still
being received.

LONGEVITY CLAIMS.

Under the decision of the court in the Tyler case only seven claims
of marine officers had been settled at the close of the year, involving
the sum of $1,249.89. This decision is held in the Department of Jus-
tice as not applicable to longevity claims in the Navy ; and such claims
will be contested in the Court of Claims, Avhere one is now pending,
and, probably, in the Supreme Court. Until a decision is reached no

This division is charged, also, with the preparation of all reports and
tabular statements called for by Congress and the Secretary of the
Treasury; the preservation and care of the files; keeping a record of
appointments, resignations, removals, and absences; the care and issu-
ing of stationery used in the office, and the payment of salaries to em-
ployes.

NEW ORLEANS PRIZE-MONEY.

I regret to have to say that Congress have as yet made no appropri-
ation to pay what is known as the “third installment of New Orleans
prize-money.” Besides the vessels captured by the fleet under the
command of Admiral Farragut, during the engagements near Forts
Jackson and Saint Philip, a large number of vessels were destroyed,
for which the court, in 1873, awarded the sum of $268,600. At the
date of the avrard there was in the Treasury, after paying fees, &c., but
$93,865.20 to the credit of the appropriation. “ Bounty for the destruction
of enemies* vessels.” This amount was distributed to all the captors.
There remains to be appropriated by Congress the sum of $143,644.47.
There are several thousand persons directly interested as creditors in
this matter. This money is as justly due as that arising under any
other obligation of the government. The claimants are worthy men
who have rendered valuable services to the government, and are clearly

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

entitled to the money which has been awarded to them by the proper
court. If Congress failed to provide for the interest on the public debt,
or the principal when due, it would be recognized as a national disgrace.
So, also, if they neglected to appropriate the money to meet the claims
settled by the accounting officers or judgments rendered by the United
:States courts against the Government, it would be regarded as highly
reprehensible, and discreditable to our whole people. The claims of
‘Officers and seamen for this ilew Orleans prize-money— claims properly
adjudicated and judgment given — are just as valid as those named, and
they ought to be paid with the same promptitude that all other lawful
obligations are paid. It is respectfully urged that there is no shadow
of a reasonable excuse for longer delay on the part of Congress.

ABOLITION OF PRIZE-MONEY.

It has been suggested that prize-money ought to be abolished; and
one or more amendments were offered to the last naval appropriation
bill to accomplish this purpose, but they were ruled out of order, and
no direct vote was reached upon them. It would seem that this is a
move in the right direction and in accordance with the spirit of the age,
as well as with the laws and regulations governing the military arm of
the public service. It would be difficult, perhaps, to give any good
reason why captures made at. sea should be awarded to the captors any
more than captures made on land. The hopes of such prizes may stimu-
late to greater exertion in the naval service, and in naval engagements
particularly, as they would, doubtless, in military enterprises on land;
but in both cases would it not be better to rely on the honor, the sense
of duty, the courage, the discipline, and the patriotism of officers and
men, rather than upon the hope of incidental pecuniary reward? The
inequalities, jealousies, and dissatisfactions growing out of the distri-
bution of prize-money are proverbial, and can be remedied only by a
discontinuance of this relic of ruder ages.

ACCOUNTS OF DISBURSING- OFFICERS.

I am pleased to report that, as a rule, the accounts of the disbursing
officers of the IiTavy have been promptly and accurate!}' rendered dur-
ing the year, showing a clear sense of responsibility, and a laudable
purpose to discharge their important duties with the utmost fidelity.
There have been some exceptions, but it is believed that these are
diminishing, and that there is an increasing sense of honor and account-
ability apparent, which promises well for the future of this branch of
the service. The disbursements of the year have been made without
loss to the Government so far as accounts have been examined in detail,
and it is believed that final settlements will exhibit this gratifying result.

VISITORS TO NAVAL ACADEMY.

The act of February 14, 1879, provides that there shall be appointed
every year a board of visitors to attend the annual examination at the
]Maval Academy. This board consists of twelve members, seven of
them appointed by the President of the United States, two Senators
appointed by the Yice-President or President pro tempore of the Senate,
and three Eepresentatives appointed by the Speaker of the House.
The act also provides that each member of this board shall receive not
exceeding eight cents per mile traveled by the most direct route from
bis residence to Annapolis, and eight cents per mile for each mile from
said place to his residence on returning. For the expenses of this board
of visitors Congress appropriates $2,600 annually. The manner in
which this sum was expended in the last fiscal year is shown by the
following statement:

L. G. BILLINGS, .

Paymaster y U, S. N., Commissary, N, A.

The remainder of the appropriation was exhausted in the payment
of mileage. I respectfully suggest that the appropriation of a gross sum
for the payment of expenses of this kind is unwise, as the above bill
abundantly shows 5 and that it would be better to follow the usual
practice of paying a per diem and mileage and permitting the members
of the board to pay their own expenses, as do nearly all other officers,
aigents, and employes of the Government. There are comfortable hotels
at Annapolis, and there can be no good reason given why they should
be ignored and such public expenditures made as the above statement
exhibits.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Davis, to the chiefs of divisions, the clerks and employes generally of

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

this office, I am constrained to say a few words concerning the civif
service here in Washington as it has come under my observation, with
some suggestions as to its permanency and fnrtber improvement. It
is well known to those acquainted with this service by practical ex-
Xierience, that it is not nearly so bad as it is frequently painted by per-
sons who have not had such experience. The improvements in the
methods of doing business and in the personnel of the Departments have
been marked during the last twenty years, as many clerks can testify
whose service extends over the greater part of that time. There has
been a survival of the fittest. The inefficient and those wanting in
good character have been dropped, while the capable, the careful, and
the upright have been retained. So that the service to-day, to say the
least, is in a very fair condition.

There are in this bureau, as there are doubtless in every one, clerks
who are receiving but moderate salaries whose capacity and experience^
were they available in private business, would command not only much
better compensation, but would insure to their owners positions of in-
dependence and influence in any community. The services of such em-
ployes are very valuable to the Government, and, as long as they re-
main so, they ought to be retained. To secure permanency in this
service and to insure its future efficiency and still farther improvement^
two or three simple enactments are suggested :

1. The law at present requires that ‘^appointments in the Treasury
Department shall be so managed as to be equally distributed between
the several States, Territories, and the District of Columbia, according
to population.” This principle should be applied to all of the Depart-
ments, thus keeping up the representative idea.

2. As is well known, much of the time of the heads of Departments,
Senators, and Eepresentatives is now taken up in listening to and pre-
senting the reasons why certain persons should be given places. For
days and weeks after President Garfield was inaugurated, the Secreta-
ries of the Treasury and Interior were overwhelmed with work of this
kind. To obviate this and to make the service equally open to all, let
the law provide that a suitable examination — competitive probably the
best — under established general rules, shall take place in the State or
congressional district where the applicant resides. Commercial col-
leges, business men, and literary institutions could easily be found
doubtless who would, free of expense to the Government, furnish the
requisite boards for conducting these examinations. Clerical vacan-
cies in the Departments and new positions would then be filled by re-
quisitions on States or districts entitled to receive appointments. The
home examination should be sufficient to entitle the applicant to a pro-
bationary appointment for a few months, upon the expiration of which
he should receive a permanent one, if proved to be qualified.

3. A fixed tenure of office of five or seven years, (with privilege of re-
appointment,) during which the appointee could not be removed except
for inefficiency or bad conduct.

4. Promotions, other things in the aggregate being fairly equal, as
shown by suitable examination, to be in accordance with seniority of
service.

It appears to me, from such reflection as I have been able to give the
subject, that a law embodying these suggestions would relieve the civil
service in Washington of the odium now attaching to it, and Cabinet
officers and Congressmen of much laborious, vexatious, and profitless
work* while many thousands of our fellow-citizens would be saved
time, money, and self-respect, which are now lost in weary journeying,

waiting, and beseeching only to find at last that there are no places for
them, and the ratio of applicants to yacancies is as twenty or more to
one. The service, also, which is the great point to be gained, would be
rendered in due time vastly more permanent and efficient than it could
reasonably be expected to be where numerous and frequent changes
may be made by the whims of individuals, the pressure of partisans, or
the varying fortunes of political parties.

Fifth Auditor’s Office,

Washington^ Oetoher 31, 1882.

Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith the annual rex>ort of this
office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882.

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE.

The accounts of ministers and others in the diplomatic service (*Ex-
hibit A) show that there were paid for salaries $310,627.24 and for con-
tingent expenses $69,525.23, aggregating $380,162.47. Passport and
official fees amounted to $3,724.21.

The Eevised Statutes classify the consnlates-general, consulates, and
commercial agencies into three classes: 1. Those embraced in a sched-
ule known as Schedule B, the incumbents of which receive a fixed salary,
and are not allowed to engage in private business. 2. Those embraced
in a schedule known as Schedule C, the incumbents of Avhich receive a
fixed salary and are allowed to engage in business. 3. All other con-
sulates the incumbents of which are compensated by the fees collected
in their offices and are allowed to transact business. In tabulating
consular accounts for fees, salaries, and other expenditures (^Exhibits B,
0, D, E, and F) this classification has been observed. The following
are the totals presented :

Fees for official services |889, 840 55

CONSULAR FEES.

The revised tariff of fees which took effect iu October, 1881, not onlj"
changed the character of many fees from official to private, bat mate-
rially reduced the charges for certain services. The fee for acknowl-
edgments,^^ for example, was cut down from $2.50 and $2 to $1; ‘^au-
thenticating signatures’^ from $2 to $1 ; “orders and letters” from $2
to $1, and several shipping certificates from $2 to $1, while “landing
certificates” were fixed at $2.50, uniformly, except on the Rio Grande,
Mexico, li^otwithstanding this very considerable decrease, the fees re-
ceived are $16,774.19 in excess of those for the year 1881, showing a
decided increase in the business transacted.

In this connection I desire to call attention to the table (^Exhibit I),
indicating the sources from which official fees were derived. The fol-
lowing are the totals given :

RECEIPTS AND INVOICES.

A law passed in August, 1856 (section 4213 Revised Statutes, 1878)
makes it the duty of owners, agents, consignees, masters, and command-
ers of vessels to furnish copies of consular receipts for fees to collectors
of ports, who shall forward them, as well as statements of all certified
invoices, to the Secretary of the Treasury. During the past year an
effort has been made to comply with the provisions of this act, the plain
intention of it being to furnish evidence of the correctness of consular
returns of official fees and charges. The work which was entirely new
to this office, has been prosecuted under difficulties arising from incom-
plete returns and insufficient clerical force; but it has progressed far
enough to indicate that the law, when properly complied with, is suffi-
cient for the purpose intended. The additional clerical force allowed
this office by the appropriation act of August 5, 1882, will enable the
work to be done xHomptly, the imiiortance of which is too obvious to
require further remark.

RELIEF OF SEAMEN. ^

Thirteen hundred and eighty seamen were relieved during the year
at an average cost of about $22.50 each, and seven hundred and four
were sent to the United States on certificate payable at the Treasury

^ See note at foot of page 356.

at an additional cost of $12.50 each. The accounts adjusted (^Exhibits
G and H) jiresent the following totals :

Board and lodging $11, 655 56

Clothing 6,2511 88

Passage paid by consuls 4,416 96

Passage to the United States paid at Treasury 8, 799 00

Other expenses 8,859 80

|.39,985 20

Extra wages a.nd arrears 51, 530 53

Amount refunded 18,149 31

33,381 22

Excess of relief over extra wages and arrears 6,603 98

As extra wages and arrears are devoted to purposes of relief, the
actual outlay by the government is thus reduced to less than one-sixth
of the entire amount expended. In other words, of the $60,000 appro-
priated by Congress for the relief of destitute American seamen, less
than $7,000 have been used.

Although the relief afforded for 1882 is less than for many years, as
will be seen by reference to the tabulated statement below, I am>of
opinion that the sum paid is considerably larger than it need be. Extend-
ing relief to seamen who are properly entitled to it is often attended with
much difficulty, and it is perhaps not surprising that in some instances
consular officers cannot discriminate between the deserving and unde-
serving. In a circular letter addressed them by this office in April
last, with the approval of the First Comptroller, mention was made of
the fact that in several cases the seamen relieved never served upon
the vessels reported, and that in one instance no such vessel sailed
under the American flag. It was also stated that seamen sent from
one consulate to another often received clothing at both places, the
second supply being given within a week after the first was received.
Since the reception of thiwS circular greater care seems to have been
exercised.

In this connection it is proper to add that consuls are often called
ui)on to relieve unworthy persons whose demands they cannot refuse.
A careful study of the returns shows that about ten per centum of those
relieved are deserters,’^ mauj^ of whom are little better than tramps,
who seize upon every opportunity to desert their vessels and live at
the expense of the Government which they disgrace. Yet under exist-
ing regulations consular officers find it difficult to avoid aiding them.
The precedent seems long to have been established that an American
seaman tvho is also an American citizen is entitled to relief, except only
Avhen actually employed upon a foreign vessel. He may desert and
take employment upon a railroad, or conceal himself until his vessel
sails, and immediately thereafter return to the consulate and obtain
relief. Several cases of this character have been reported during the
past year, the relief being given solely for the reason that the seamen
were citizens of the United States.

It would be a manifest hardship to withhold relief from deserters”
in all cases, for men are frequently driven to desertion by unusual or
cruel treatment. But it would clearly be better for all parties in inter-
est if consular officers Avere authorized to relieve this class of seamen
only when it is satisfactorily ascertained that the desertion is justifiable
regardless of the seaman^ s citizenship. The course pursued at present-

not only operates as an incitement to desertion, but compels the consul
to grant relief in cases manifestly undeserving.

EEPORT

OF THE

AUDITOR OF THE TREASURY FOR THE POST-OFFICE

DEPARTMENT.

Office of the Auditor of the Treasury

For the Post-Office Department,
Washington^ D. 0., November 6, 1882.

Sir: I have the honor to submit the report of the business opera-
tions of this office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882.

My annual report to the Postmaster-General exhibits::;in detail the
financial transactions of the Post Office Department during the last
fiscal year.

# ’ . * # * #

The increase in the business of this office during the past year has
been very great, not only by the addition of new post-offices, but by the
growth in the' business of those already existing, and in both the postal
and money order branches. There has also been a great increase in
the number of new mail-routes, and of changes in old routes, owing to
our extended railroad system. This rapid growth and increase of busi-
ness has brought with it augmented revenues, which has not only made
the post-office system self-sustaining, but has carried more than a mill-
ion and a half dollars into the Treasury the past year, instead of taking
millions out, as heretofore. The present year will greatly swell this net
surplus to be carried into the Treasury.

This increase of business, with the added work from the removals and
change of quarters during the year has kept the office short-handed,
notwithstanding the addition to the clerical, force last year, and the
faithful and diligent labors of the clerks, a large portion of whom have
worked more than the established office hours to keep upi their work,
and more than justifies the required increase of force for the coming
year.

In closing this report, I desire to call your attention to the tenure by
which the Sixth Auditors Office occupies rooms in the post-office build-
ing, and the building rented for money-order business. Since the erec-
tion of the Post-Office Building it has been jointly occupied by the Post-
Office Department and the Sixth Auditor's Office; and no law, so far
as I am aware, gives control of the building to either party. When
Congress was asked, in 1863, to put the control of the building in the
hands of the Postmaster-General, it refused or neglected to do so. Th e

Note. — A siuiimary of the priucipal labors performed by the several Divisions of
this office, here oaiitted for Avant of space, will be found in the pamphlet edition of
the Auditor’s report.

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

question of control now arises from the incapacity of the building to
afford room for the transaction of post-office business and the auditing
of post-office accounts. The number of employes occupying these build-
ings is in the proportion of six and a third to the Treasury Department,
and ten to the Post-Office Department. When the money-order busi-
. ness was removed from the Post-Office Building, by order of the Post-
master-General, to the new quarters rented for its use, twelve rooms on
the first fioor of the Post-Office Building, which were still occupied by
Treasury clerks (as they had been for twenty or more years), were de-
sired by the Post-Office Department, aiid the Sixth Auditor was ordered
by the Postmaster-General to vacate these rooms and go to others upon
the third floor. He iDrotested against the removal on account of the
great inconvenience it would occasion for the transaction of the busi-
ness of his office, and besides suggested the inequitable assignment
which had been made, and the absence of any law which authorized
one Department of the Government to remove at its pleasure the em-
ployes of another Department from quarters which had been occupied
by them from the erection of the Post-Office Building, or changed by
joint consent, all of which was unheeded.

It is manifestly right and proper that the Post-Office Department
should have all the room which it needs for the performance of its busi-
ness and the full custody and control of it ; and it has no more than it
needs. It is also equally right and proper if a bureau of the Treasury
Department is to occupy a part of the Post-Office Building that it should
have some rights to the space occupied, and not be subject to removal
at the pleasure of another Department, or dependent upon it for its sup-
plies and repairs. The employes of the Treasury Department still re-
maining in the Post-Office Building are two-fifths as many as are em-
ployed by the Post-Office Department. In the new building rented for
money-order business nearly three-fourths of the employes belong to the
Treasury Department, yet it is claimed that they are dependent upon
the Post-Office Department for their quarters, supplies, and repairs.

For these reasons I suggest that the tenure by which this bureau of
the Treasury Department holds its quarters be established by law.

I am, sir, very respectfully,

J. H. ELA,

Auditor.

Secretary of the Treasury.

O F

THE TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES.

Treasury or the United States,

Washington^ D. 0., November 1, 1882.

Sir: I have the honor to submit a report showing the operations of
the Treasury of the United States for the fiscal year 1882, and its con-
dition on June 30, 1882.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS.

The receipts of the government show an increase over those of 1881
of $22,251,054.23 in the revenue from customs; $11,233,209.94 from in-,
ternal revenue; $2,551,277.20 from sales of public lands, and $6,707,-
416,34 from miscellaneous sources, making a total increase in the net
revenue of $42,742,957.71. The total net revenue was $403,525,250.28.
The net expenditures decreased from $260,712,887.59 to $257,981,440.20,
a reduction of $2,731,447.39, which, added to the increase in receipts,
makes an increase of $45,474,405.10 in the surplus revenues applicable
to the reduction of the public debt. The expenditures on account of
interest on the public debt show a reduction of $11,431,534.39, from
$82,508,741.18, in 1881, to $71,077,206.79, in 1882. The excess of rev-
enues over expenditures was $145,543,810.08, and the amount applied
to the reduction of the debt $166,281,505.55. '

The amount standing on the books of the Treasury to the credit of
disbursing officers of the United States at the close of the fiscal year

The most noteworthy change in the last year is the decrease of the
gold coin and bullion, held by the Treasury, from $176,791,566.41 to
$153,047,964.12, and the increase of the standard silver dollars from
$65,949,279 to $92,025,350; a decrease in the gold of $23,743,602.29, and
an increase in the silver dollars of $26,076,071. Deducting the amount
held for the redemption of gold certificates, the gold belonging to the
government in the Treasury on the 30th of September was $154,987,371.29
in 1879; $128,160,085.77 in 1880; $169,552,746.41 in 1881, and $148,-
140,524.12 in 1882. Notwithstanding the decrease in the last year, the
gold owned by the government is nearly $20,000,000 more than two
years ago, the amount held last year having been swelled by the deposit
of gold coin for exchange on the West and South.

Deducting in like manner the silver certificates actually outstanding,
the standard silver dollars owned by the government were $30,366,054
on September 30, 1879; $35,355,363 on the same date in 1880; $13,108,839
in 1881, and $28,699,970 in 1882.

The fund for the redemption of notes of national banks which have
failed, gone into voluntary liquidation, or made deposits of lawful
money for the reduction of their circulation, increased during the year
from $31,152,713.60 to $38,507,029.10; the silver certificates actually
outstanding, after deducting the amount held by the Treasury, from
$52,840,440 to $63,325,380; the United States notes on hand, from
$28,422,170 to $32,918,256, and the fractional silver coin held, from.
$26,343,477.17 to $27,429,246.56. The aggregate amount of gold and
silver coin and bullion held by the Treasury increased from $269,706,-
998.76 in 1881 to $276,144,150.05 in 1882. The amount now held is
$53,336,782.04 greater than that held in 1879, and $61,840,934.67 greater
than in 1880, The gross assets of the Treasury increased during the

year from $331,981,210.11 to $346,552,990.39, although the balance re-
maining after deducting the moneys held for the redemption of gold,
silver and currency certificates, and for the payment of matured debt and
interest, and the amount to the credit of special or trust funds, ran down
from $151,336,116.73 to $143,964,893.79.

Reserve— Excess of Assets 135, 151, 688 99

The above liabilities are the uet liabilities after deducting the re-
deemed or unissued obligations of the various classes held by the
Treasury.

The reserve is. computed by deducting from the cash in the Treasury
the aggregate of the current liabilities other than United States notes.
The remainder of $135,151,688.99 is considered to be the reserve avail-
able for the redemption of United States notes. In other words, if all
of the liabilities of the government payable on demand should be at once
discharged, if the entire amount advanced from the Treasury and placed
to the credit of disbursing officers of the government should be drawn
out, if the funds deposited for the redemption of national bank notes
should be immediately called for, and if that portion of the public funds
held for the Post-Office Department should be set aside, there Avould
still remain $135,151,688.99 in cash to meet any demand for the redemp-
tion of United States notes. The reserve has apparently run down
$11,291,802.78 since October 1, 1881. This reduction is accounted for
by the fact that by direction of the Secretary payment has been antici-
pated on $12,063,714.72 in called bonds, not yet matured.

The following statement shows the percentage of reserve when com-
puted on this plan, and what the percentage would be if sufficient funds
were set aside for the payment in full of the gold, silver, and currency

On the first assumption the reserve for the redemption of United
States notes has ranged during the last thirteen months from 34.2 to
43.8 per cent., and the monthly average since the resumption of specie
payments has been 39 per cent. On the second assumption the ratio
of the reserve to the liabilities has varied during the thirteen months
from 51.5 to 55.9 per cent., and has averaged since resumption 52.1 per
cent. Were the 40 per cent, reserve, which it is deemed necessary to
maintain, computed on the latter basis, the amount now held would be
$59,961,093.50 in excess of the required amount.

FRACTIONAL SILVER AND MINOR COIN.

Durilig the fiscal year 4,150 packages containing $3,367,754.18 in
llractional silver coin were forwarded from this office, at the expense of
the government for express charges, in return for currency redeemed
or for deposits of lawful money in the Treasury.

Under the appropriation of $25,000 made by the act of August 7,
1882, for the recoinage of uncurrent silver coins in the Treasury,
$383,273.96 in uncurrent silver three-cent and five-eent pieces, $5,798.15
in foreign silver coins, and $621 in standard silver dollars were recoined
into $363,821.34 in dimes, at a net loss of $25,871.77. The excess of
the loss over the $25,000 appropriated was borne from the appropria-
tion for the recoinage of gold and silver coins.

The denominations of the minor coin in the Treasury on September
30, 1882, were as follows :

Five-cent niclfel $71,200 45

Three-cenfc nickel ^ 155.376 83

The supply of five-cent nickel coins in the Treasury, which three
years ago reached the sum of $1,184,252.95, was exhausted during the
j^ear and their coinage was resumed by the Miut. None of these coins ‘

furnished in imiltiples of $20 by the Mint, 'which bears the expense of
their transportation. .

Included in the amount on hand is a considerable quantity of coins
of the various denominations unfit for circulation, for the recoinage of
which an appropriation of $1,000 has been made.

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY,

The amount of fractional currency redeemed during the fiscal year
was only $58,705.55, against $109,001.05 in the preceding year. The
amount outstanding at the close of the year was $15,423,180.10. The
redemptions for each year since 1876, when the issue ceased, have been
as follows :

The number of the counterfeit United States notes was 286, and of
the counterfeit national-bank notes 435.

During the year one of the national banks, a portion of whose notes
was stolen when signed by but one of its officers, and put in circulation
with the fictitious signature of the other, went into voluntary liquida-
tion and deposited in the Treasury lawful money for the redemption of
all of its circulation, including the stolen notes. By consent of the offi-
cers of the bank, and with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasurj^,
the stolen notes when presented at this office have been redeemed from
the bankas deposit of lawful money.

There was deducted daring the year, on account of mutilations, from
the face value of United States notes redeemed $12,086 ; from fractional
currency, $199.68; and from notes of failed, liquidating, and reducing
national banks, $86.50 ; making the total deductions on this account
$319,149.16 on notes of the face value of $2,406,233,928.57 redeemed.
In accordance with the recommendation made iu the Treasurer's last,
a inual report, the rule subjecting mutilated United States currency to
a discount proportioned to the part lacking was modified, in March, 1882,

SO that fragments equal to three-fifths of whole notes are redeemed in
full, and notes of which from one-half to three-fifths remains at one-half
their face value. This rule has been found to be sufficient for the pro-
tection of the Treasury from fraud, and its application has saved much
labor and annoyance to this office, while it has relieved the holders of
mutilated notes from the hardship to which they were formerly sub-
jected. Mutilated United States notes and national-bank notes are
now redeemed under substantially the same regulations.

SALES OF EXCHANUE.

During the year ending September 30, 1882, exchange between the
principal cities was furnished by the Treasury Department to the amount
of $30,844,100. For deposits of gold coin in ISTew York, telegraphic
orders payable in silver certificates, amounting to $14,929,500, were
drawn on the assistant treasurers in Cincinnati, Chicago, Saint Louis,
and New Orleans, of which $8,499,500 was payable in New Orleans ; and,
for like deposits, orders payable in gold coin were drawn on Philadel-
phia for $6,569,600, and on New Orleans for $3,550,000. The exchange
on New Orleans was sold for a premium of $2,808.75. For deposits in
New York and Baltimore, exchange amounting to $795,000, pa.yable in
standard silver dollars, was drawn on Philadelphia, and $5,000,000 in
exchange on New York was sold in San Francisco for United States
notes.

DEPOSITARY BANKS.

The public funds deposited with national- bank depositaries during
the fiscal year amounted to $143,261,541.41, making the total receipts of
public moneys by these depositaries since the establishment of the
national' banking system $3,812,722,588.02. The balance remaining
with them at the close of the year to the credit of the Treasurer was
$9,610,432.86, and the balance to the credit of disbursing officers
amounted to $3,152,254.56, making a total deposit of $12,762,687.42,
which is protected by $15,925,000 in United States bonds lodged with
the Treasurer.

The receipts and disbursements of public funds by bank depositaries
during the last nineteen fiscal years have been as follows;

THE EEBEMPTION OF NATIONAL-BANK NOTES,

The national-bank notes received for redemption during the fiscal
year amounted to $76,089,327, an increase over the preceding year of
$16,439,068, or more than 27^ per cent. Notwithstanding this increase
the redemptions were less than one-third as great as in 1877, when
they reached $236,210,375. $28,012,000 was received from the city of
New York, $7,370,000 from Boston, and $5,939,000 from Philadelphia,
The largest amount received in any year from New York was $80,925,000
in 1875, and from Boston $80,527,000 in 1878, the amount in each case
being greater than the entire redemptions during the fiscal year 1882,
The amount assorted during the year was $74,593,730, of which
$3,801,500 was fit for circulation and returned to^the banks that issued
it, $53,838,500 was unfit for circulation, and $16,953,730 was of the issue
of banks which have failed, gone into liquidation, or made deposits of
lawful money for the retirement of part of their circulation. The
amount of notes fit for circulation redeemed was less than in any pre-
ceding year, constituting but 5 per cent, of the total redemptions, Avhile
the amount of notes unfit for circulation Avas greater than in any of the
preceding four years. The amonnt of notes fit for circulation redeemed
has steadily declined since 1878. In that year they amounted to
$152,437,300, and constituted more than 70 j>er cent, of the total re-
demptions. The proportion of notes of reducing banks included in the

TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES. 377

amount redeemed was greater than in any preceding year, being
$14,150,026, or nearly 19 per cent, of tbe total amount assorted.

The expenses incurred in the redemption of national-bank notes
during the year were $129,529.38 as against $126,212.12 during the
preceding year. The increase is more than covered by the increase in
the charges for transportation, the expenses of redeeming and assorting
the notes having been reduced from $92,368.26 in 1881 to $90,326.07 in
1882 — a smaller expenditure than in any preceding year. Heretofore,
in accordance with a construction of the law adopted at the outset, the
charges for transportation have been assessed upon the several national
banks in proportion to the amount, and the expenses of assorting in
proportion to the number, of their notes redeemed. For the last fiscal
year, for the first time, all of the expenses of redemption have been
assessed in proportion to the amoiint of the notes of each bank redeemed.
This method seems to conform more closely than the former one to the
requirement of the law that ‘‘tbe amount assessed upon each association
shall be in proportion to the circulation redeemed,” while it saves the
labor and expense of comimting the number of notes redeemed for each
bank.

At the Treasurer’s suggestion there was inserted in the act of July 12,
1882, extending the corporate existence of national banks, a provision
that ‘‘all national banks which have heretofore made or shall hereafter
make deposits of lawful money for the reduction of their circulation
shall be assessed * * * for the cost of transporting and redeeming
their notes redeemed from such deposits subsequently to June 30, 1881^”
Accordingly, all notes of reducing banks redeemed during the last
fiscal j^ear have been subjected to assessment, making the total' amount
assessed $71,794,526, and the average rate $l.SO-iVo^- for each $1,000 re-
deemed and assorted. HM the reducing banks been relieved from as-
sessment as heretofore, the assessment upon the other banks would have
• been at the rate of $2.25 for each $1,000, or one-fourth greater.

The same section provides that the national banks which shall there-
after make deposits of lawful money for the retirement in full of their
cireulation shall, at the time of their deposit-, be assessed for the cost of
transporting and redeeming their notes then outstanding a sum equal
to the average cost of the redemption of national-bank notes during the
preceding year. The assessments made under this section on national
banks going into voluntary liquidation are credited to a consolidated
account to which are to be annually charged the actual expenses of
transporting and redeeming the notes of such banks.

DEPOSITS FOR RETIREMENT OF BANK CIRCULATION.

The ninth section of the act of July 12, 1882, extending the charters of
national banks, limits to $3,000,000 a month the deposits of lawful money
which may be made for the withdrawal of bank circulation under section
4 of the act of June 20, 1874, exclusive of the amount which may be with-
drawn in consequence of the calling by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury of bonds I'or redemption. The amount deposited on this account
from the date of the passage of the act to October 31, was $4,581,825, of
which $1,882,340 consisted of lawful money deposited with the Treasurer
and assistant treasurers of the United States, and $2,699,485 of the pro-
ceeds of called bonds. The deposits of lawful money during the same
period for the retirement of the circulation of national banks in volun-
tary liquidation were $1,860, 135,

RESTORATION OF SALARIES.

In conclusion, the Treasurer earnestly renews the recommendation
made in his last annual report for the restoration to their former amounts
of the salaries of the ofihcers of his office which were reduced by the
appropriation act of 1§76. The amount required to make the restora-
tion is only $3,600 per annum— the salary of three clerks of the lowest
grade — while the number of officers who would be benefited by it is
twenty. Even with the restored salaries, the pay of these officers will
be much less than is paid for like services and. responsibilities in private
establishments, and less than the salaries of officers of no higher rank
in some other branches of the public service. The action recommended
would simply res'tore the salaries to the amounts at which they are fixed
by law (18 Statutes, 397, 399).

No loss of the public money has occurred in this office during the last
year.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAS. GILFILLAN,
Treasurer of the United States,

Hon. Charles J. Folger,

Secretary of the Treasury,

no precedent for general legislation authorizing the issue of circulation without a de-
posit of securities

losses to the people by failure to redeem circulation under previous systems where the

deposit of securities was not required

where such losses were small special charters have generally been granted and the

amount of circulation issued has not been large -

objections to issuing circulation to banks organized under a general law without requir-
ing the deposit of bonds

under present system there can be no failure to redeem circulating notes

temptations existing if circulation could be obtained without depositing bonds as secu-
rity

defects of a safety fund as security

contraction of bank currency would be prevented if the issue of circulation to the ex-
tent of 90 per cent, upon the average current market value of bonds deposited were

authorized by Congress
